Pompei is an Italian equivalent of the English name "Pompeii." The proper name, whose origins may go back to the extinct Oscan language word pompe for "five" -- references an ancient southwest Italian city that is a popular tourist destination and UNESCO World Heritage Site. The pronunciation will be "POM-pey" in Italian.
