My name is Dinah, I pronounce it DYE-NUH. I began to read the red tent and when I got to the part where it said it should be pronounced DEE-NUH I stopped reading the book. Dinah was my grandmother's nickname. Her given name was Delphina. I lived in Latin America for 6 years and I spelled Dinah: DAINA or DAYNA. When read in Spanish it is pronounced correctly. I love my name, it is unusual and rare. There are two other songs mentioning Dinah that were not listed. Dinah Moe Humm by Frank Zappa and Dinah is there anyone Finah...
My name is Dina and the correct way to pronounce it is Dee-nah NOT Die-na. But I understand some prefer to be called Die-na instead. But the biblical pronunciation is DEE-NAH.

I am Jewish and this name (usually rendered "Dinah") is pronounced DEE-nə (Dee-nuh), which is also the Biblically accurate pronunciation-- not DIE-nuh. It derives from the legal court system (Beit Din:בית דין, "house of judgment"; which is a rabbinical court of Judaism.)
