The "le" is pronounced as "luh" and the "eu" sounds like the u in "but" but with rounded lips. The last syllable is pronounced like "mew" as in a cat sound. The spelling of this name reflects the French origins of the name, where the letters "eux" are commonly used to represent a sound similar to the "oo" in "food."
