I was given an English version of this name spelled Seglenda and so many people have a hard time pronouncing it. It’s interesting when I go on job interviews and people who may know the origin of the name are looking for someone of German descent. It’s an interesting conversation starter.

The IPA of this name is something like: zi:glɪndə. Basically, ZEE-glin (like 'i' in linda) duh (e as in the second 'e' in 'relEvant".)

Pronounced zee-GLIND-uh. I'm not quite sure which syllable the emphasis falls on, but that is the correct pronunciation.

This name, in modern German, would probably sound simething like [zi:glində], though, were someone to use this name in English, it would probably be pronounced [siglɪnd], as this appears to be its pronunciation at first glance.

This is my mother's name, but she shortens it to Linda because nobody can pronounce it.

In Old Germanic names like Sieglinde, "linde" does NOT mean "gentle." It means "shield." Literally, it means linden tree, but since shields were made mainly from linden wood, the term "linde" was used to mean "shield" just as "ash" (the tree from which spears were usually made) was used to mean "spear." Thus, Sieglinde really means "Victory Shield".

Sieglinde is a character in Die Walkure, the second opera in Wagner's Ring. She slept with her brother (Siegmund), and they had a baby (Siegfried). Then of course everyone died.
