Hi Gwenhwyfar,
the pronunciation in Russia is:
ksen-yah (stress on the first syllable)
the pronunciation in Sweden is the same or alternatively
kseh-nee-yah (stress on the first syllable as well)
Regards, Satu

Wow! Thanks, Satu! Tell me something. How would you pronounce the "ks" together? Is the "k" silent?

No, it isn't silent!
Hi again Gwenhwyfar!
KS is pronounced just like X in the word "six", so the K isn't silent. Ksenia is just a "spelling" variation of Xenia not a "pronunciation" variation.

Okay
OK. I used to think that Xenia was pronounced "zen-ya." Yes, I know. Xenia is the Polish version of Ksenia.
