Apphia Yu is an American voice actress and the wife to fellow voice actor Micah Solusod best for voice work in Funimation in Love Live Sunshine and Gosick.
A Hebrew name, it means increasing, as is related to aff (עף) which means flying. However as a Hebrew speaker I would be put off as it sounds like aph (אף) which means nose….
"AF-ee-ə" sounds exactly like the Arabic name "Afia" (عافیہ). Using the spelling "Afia" would most likely avoid any mispronunciations of this name to occur.
Please, the comment below mine is false. Afia is an Akan name for a girl born on a Friday. And it's actually not pronounced the same as this.
Because of "Apphia"'s Greek appearance, I believe that you could get by with using it (granted, you also possess the heritage and a matching surname). I foresee difficulty in pronunciation for average English speakers-- Ap-Pee-Ah? Negative. Ap-Fee-Ah? Strike two. Ahf-Fee-Ah? Yes, sir. "Apple" may appear in that list, on occasions. I think that the usage must be for extraordinary reason. Not simply because you favor the name.
I think this name is absolutely beautiful. Just uncommon/unique enough, without being too strange or hard to spell/pronounce.
