ArchivesSvetlana and Faustina and Crocifissa Pronounciations
Does anyone know the pronounciation of the female names Svetlana and Faustina and Crocifissa? I always assumed Svetlana was svet-LAH-nah, but now I'm having doubts. Also, I always assumed Faustina was faw-STEE-nah, but I'm having my doubts. Crocifissa has intrigued me, but I have no clue. cross-ih-FISS-ah? That's just a random guess.
Thanks in advance! Any info would be appreciated.

Svetlana is indeed svet-LAH-nah.
I'd venture a guess that Crocifissa is cro-chi-FISS-ah, but that's more of a wild guess than anything, so don't take my word for it.
