What is the correct pronunciation of Hermes?

Answer 1

The Greek God Hermes (Greek:ΕΡΜΗΣ, Ερμής) is pronounced (HUR-meez).

If you are talking about the brand Hermès then the 'H' is silent in French (and so is the 'S' at the end of a word, with the exception of just a few words in the language).

In this case, the "s" is pronounced. The "h" is silent, so it's basically (air-maess)

(kind of a cross between air-mace and air-mess).

The Americanized version sounds like "air-MEZZ".
