The spelling of the name Annjela may be confusing to some, but it is pronounced as /ænˈdʒɛlə/. The double "n" serves as a modification to the first syllable, changing the "a" sound to a shorter, clipped "æ". The double "j" creates what is known as a palatal glide, which affects the pronunciation of the "g" sound in the second syllable to have a "j" sound (/dʒ/). The final "a" is pronounced with a soft "uh" sound (/ə/) to complete the name.
