How to pronounce Ghodsi
person community-consensus
Ghodsi is most commonly pronounced "god see" (/ˈɡɑːdsi/). This is the widely-used reading among engineers, though edge cases exist.
Ali Ghodsi is the co-founder and CEO of Databricks, quoted in most lakehouse and AI-infrastructure news cycles. The surname is Persian (قدسی, from Ghods/Quds, "sacred"), where the "gh" transliterates a single hard G rather than an aspirated or two-step "guh-HOD". It is simply "GOD-see", two syllables with the stress up front.
Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will.
