How Do You Spell GOETZ?

Pronunciation: [ɡˈə͡ʊts] (IPA)

The spelling of the name "Goetz" can be confusing for English speakers as it is not pronounced the way it is spelled. In IPA phonetic transcription, the correct pronunciation is /ɡœts/. The "oe" combination represents a German umlaut "ö" sound, similar to the "u" sound in "hurt". The letter "z" is pronounced like "ts" in this context. Therefore, the correct way to spell "Goetz" reflects its German origin and pronunciation, rather than an anglicized version.
