[Facts] Re: Fainne (Satu maybe you know this one?)
Hi Larissa,Fainne is an Irish name meaning "ring". It is pronounced "FEN-yah".There is a Frisian name pronounced the same way: Fenja, which is a form of Fenna (Frisian pet form for Frida / Frieda).But the spelling Fainne isn't used for Fenja as far as I know. In the countries where Frisian names are used (the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark), Fainne would be pronounced FEYE-neh.Satu
