Hoshama is a rare name whose pronunciation is not intuitive from its spelling. It is pronounced as /hoʊˈʃɑːmə/, utilizing the long 'o' sound and the schwa (ə) sound. The 'sh' is pronounced as the consonant cluster /ʃ/ and is followed by the short 'a' sound. The final syllable is unstressed and contains the schwa sound. The spelling reflects the name's Hebrew origins, where the 'H' denotes a unique sound not present in English, and the final 'a' indicates a feminine name ending.
