The spelling of the word "Elviss" can be a bit confusing as it appears to have an extra "s" at the end. However, this unique spelling is a deliberate choice to distinguish it as a proper noun - specifically, as a stage name for Elvis Presley impersonators. The IPA phonetic transcription for "Elviss" would be /ˈɛlvɪs/, with stress on the first syllable and a soft "s" sound at the end. This distinction helps to separate it from the more common spelling of the name Elvis.
