Spelt as ريان? Then you'd pronounce it as: Rayaan.

Soufiane?

سفيان Would be: Suf-yaan

Faris?

فارس : Faa-ris

Wallaahu a'lam.

hrm....this is more confusing than i though. i'm not sure what aa means

and raiian is even more confusing to me .......so is it

ray-ann

or ray-on ?

or rye-ann?

for rayan

Stick to Rai-yaan [Oooh that sounds chinese! Slightly ]

interesting , alhamdulillah at least it learning and that is always good as long as its halal studies

As salaamu alaykum,

I dont think it'd be pronounced as Rehan/Raihan because there's no Haa/7aa there?

And what about Faaris, is this an Arabic word ??

Yeah, I think so.

Rayan = Rai-yan or Rayyan
in arabic ريان there is a "shaddah" on "y" which reads as letter "ي" , I dont know the english word for it but it looks like this in arabic " ّ "

the rest as other said
Soufiane = Suf-yan

Hicham = He-sham

Mikaeel and Mika'il = Me-ka-eel

Faris = Fa-ris

Rayan.

I'd say ray-an

Soufiane?

Suf-yaan

Hicham?

seems to be Hee-shaam

Mikaeel?

Meek-a-eel

Faris?

Faa-ris (meaning knight)

Mika'il?

ditto ^^^ as the other one

you clear with it now?
