Comments for SÄDE:
Sade is a rock star in the US.-- Anonymous User 3/30/2006
The Finnish name Sade is simply not the same name as the name used by the British-Nigerian singer. In her case it is a short form of the Yoruba name Folasade.-- Anonymous User 3/24/2007
Amongst the Yoruba of Nigeria there is a feminine name-Sade. In fullness it is Folasade; shortened to Sade i.e. the most popular abbreviation. Folasade, including its abbreviation, simply means "use riches in place of crown." The British-Yoruba soft singer, Sade, is a typical bearer.-- babatunde mikkibello 5/2/2007
Pronounced Sadie.-- Anonymous User 3/30/2006
The person who said Säde is pronounced "Sadie" obviously confused the name with the non-Finnish Sade.
The Ä is pronounced the same as the the A in "lap" or "crack". The E is pronounced the same as the E in "pet".-- Saya Aensland 4/6/2006
Säde is not pronounced the same way as SADIE. And neither is the name SADE. Sade in Finnish means 'rain' and it is a girls name.-- Anonymous User 5/16/2006
It seems like there could several possible pronunciations depending on where you are from, some I have seen on the web are shah-DAY, shar-DAY and sa-de, the a is pronounced like the u in stuff and the e is pronounced like the e in let.-- Anonymous User 5/30/2006
It's a tad corny and cutesy, and I've never heard of a Säde in Finland. Maybe this is a Finnish hippie name, then.-- slight night shiver 5/5/2008
People, please. Sade is not the same as Säde! In Finnish "Sade" means "rain" and "säde" means "ray of light". The dots aren't there just for fun!-- Anonymous User 5/19/2008
You can hear the pronunciation here:

"Säde" is also the Finnish word for radius. I almost always think of geometry when I hear the word säde.-- nenmo 5/5/2009
My first impression was the Marquis de Sade, and sadism. But I'm an ignorant American.-- Anonymous User 8/29/2009
