How Do You Spell BLEAZARD?

The word "Bleazard" is usually spelled with a "z" instead of an "s" sound, despite the fact that the latter would be more phonetically accurate.

The French pronunciation of the name emphasizes the "z" sound, which is why it has been retained in the spelling of the English version. The IPA transcription for "Bleazard" would be /blɛzɑrd/.

Etymology of BLEAZARD
