The name "Gervas" is fairly uncommon, which can make spelling it correctly a bit of a challenge. The pronunciation of the word follows the IPA phonetic transcription: /dʒə(ɹ)vəs/. The first syllable is pronounced with a soft "j" sound followed by a schwa sound. The second syllable includes a stressed "r" sound followed by a short "v" sound and a schwa. The final syllable is simply a schwa sound. When spelling "Gervas," be sure to include the "e" between the "r" and "v" in the second syllable.
