How to pronounce Gravitino

Gravitino is most commonly pronounced "grav ih tee noh" (/ˌɡrævɪˈtiːnoʊ/). This is the widely-used reading among engineers, though edge cases exist.

Apache Gravitino is a federated metadata lake / open data catalog (originally from Datastrato) that competes with Unity Catalog and Polaris for Iceberg governance. The name is the physics particle — graviton plus the Italian diminutive -ino — and dictionaries give grav-i-TEE-noh, stress on 'tee', with 'vi' as a short 'ih' rather than 'vye'. The project publishes no pronunciation guidance of its own, so the dictionary reading of the particle is the consensus.

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.
