"Mundell" is a surname that is spelled phonetically as /mʌnˈdɛl/. The first syllable "mun" is pronounced with a short "u" sound as in "sun," while the second syllable "dell" is pronounced with a short "e" sound as in "bed." The stress falls on the first syllable, which results in a slight emphasis on the "mun" sound. Due to English's irregular spelling rules, the spelling of "Mundell" differs from the phonetic pronunciation of the name.
