How Do You Spell NELLWYN?

Pronunciation: [nˈɛlwɪn] (IPA)

The name "Nellwyn" is an uncommon name with Welsh origins. The pronunciation of Nellwyn is /ˈnɛl.wɪn/, with the stress on the first syllable. The "n" begins with the velar nasal sound, a sound that is made by closing off the oral cavity from the airflow and raising the soft palate. The second syllable makes use of the short 'i' sound followed by the 'w' sound, which is then followed by the nasal 'n' sound again. The spelling may seem unusual, but it phonetically captures the sounds of the Welsh language.
