George Charles Hevesy de Hevesy was a famous Hungarian chemist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The spelling of his name may seem daunting at first, but it can be broken down using IPA phonetic transcription. His first name is spelled /dʒɔːrdʒ/ while his last name is spelled /ˈheviʃi/. The addition of "de" in between his first and last name is a French aristocratic particle which is pronounced /də/. Despite its length and complexity, the correct spelling of Hevesy’s name remains important in honoring his contributions to the field of chemistry.
