Ayn Rand is a name adopted by the author Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum (1905-1982). It is a shortened form of the Finnish name "Aina" or "Ina" (eye-nah). Rand herself stated that the name was pronounced as a long I followed by an N. In English, this pronunciation rhymes with "mine". Rand is pronounced as in normal English, to rhyme with "hand".
