Vikings called her Sigrida. I think they could have pronunciation problem too.
Sheeviye-to (o pronounced shortly like a from “all”) -suava
Shfientoswava
Shfi-yen-to-swa-fa, atleast I think
Read it “świętosława”
Świętosława 🤓
Just read it Stacy
By the way what book?
It’s easier to start learning it from the back, so by the time you have to learn the horrible beginning everything else is already there.
So:
​
wa [Va]
ława [Wha Va]
tosława [Toss Wha Va]
Świętosława [Draw the rest of the f*****g owl. No, I’m serious, there’s no reason ŚWIĘ should exist, it’s a travesty. There’s no Ś or Ę sound in germanic languages, like, at all. Just call her Sława, she won’t mind]

It’s built from 2 roots which have their pronunciation on Wikitionary:
https://pl.wiktionary.org/wiki/święto
https://pl.wiktionary.org/wiki/sława
According to IPA, it would be like this: **ɕfjɛn-tɔs-wa-va**
Google Translate might help: [here](https://translate.google.com/?sl=pl&tl=en&text=Świętosława&op=translate)
By the way, what does FL mean?
This is hard mode. ;p
What’s the title of this book and what is it about? I guess it’s about medieval Poland, because Świętosława is an archaic name.
Sh-fiaow-toe-swa-va
You can always look it up on Forvo.com
Sygryda Storråda – it’s her real name
Sh-vee-en-toh-swah-vah

Just read Holly every time you see the name.
The answer has been given but this is relevant: https://youtu.be/AfKZclMWS1U
Generally easiest way to check pronunciation is to write a word in Google translate and then make it read it.
interesting name, the meaning would translate to
Swieto-Slawa
Holy-Glory😄
This site is great for this kind of trouble

Well. It’s hard to tell. Świętosława is a Polish name and its hard to pronounce for a foreigner. Try with google translate
