Default How Do You Pronounce "Jelen"?

Funny a question! Quite accidentally I have taken a look at the Group news.
Bill Jelenss surname is undoubtedly of Czech (Middle Europe!) origin, where
it means €žhart, stag€œ, with pronounciation €žYellen€œ. But€¦ how many ancestors
changed the pronounciation in the US pot and which of these is then €žcorrect€œ?

Jon Peltier pÃ*Å¡e:

He's "Jelen like Magellan", just like in the TV ad.

Is it "Jell-en" or "Jay-len" or what? I just bought his book, "VBA and
Macros for Microsoft Excel," and I am thoroughly enjoying and learning a
great deal from it. I want to be able to accurately pronounce his name
when
I reference the book.

Thanks!
