Pronunciation: [dˈɛnɪz] (IPA) 
The spelling of "Dennys" is peculiar, as it contains a silent letter "y". In IPA phonetic transcription, it is transcribed as /ˈdɛnɪz/. The "y" is silent and serves as a way to create a plural form of the name "Denny", without adding an "s". This also avoids confusion with the common noun "denies". "Dennys" is a proper noun, often used to refer to the restaurant chain, and should be pronounced with stress on the first syllable.

The word Denny's is derived from the surname of the restaurant chain's founder, Harold Butler. In 1953, Butler opened his first restaurant named Danny's Donuts in Lakewood, California. However, as the chain expanded and began offering a full menu beyond just donuts, the name was changed to Denny's Coffee Shops. Over time, the possessive apostrophe was dropped, resulting in the current name Denny's.
