Please bear with me because I have limited knowledge of the Welsh language even though my mom's side of the family is Welsh. I would pronounce Carys like "KA reece" not "Care iss". Am I saying this correctly? It is the name that I really like for a girl, but I don't want to be going around pronouncing it incorrectly. Ok, let me see if I have this right.

So it is KA-riss, rather than Kar-EEE. ;) A in Welsh is always short like CAT, R is trilled or rolled slightly, a final Y is an EE, and S is always soft like SIT, never a Z sound. Hope that helps.

We thought it rhymed with Paris. I saw somewhere that it is KAris but I still am not understanding the inflection. Is the "KA" pronounced KAY? Can you give me something it rhymes with to make it more understandable. I appreciate your help. Thanks, Dwyn Hi,
