How to pronounce Zenoh

Zenoh is most commonly pronounced "zee noh" (/ˈziːnoʊ/). This is one of several readings in active use; the developer community hasn't converged on a single answer.

Eclipse Zenoh is a zero-overhead pub/sub, store/query and compute protocol, now an official ROS 2 middleware via rmw_zenoh. Its README annotates it "(pronounced /zeno/)" — the trailing h is silent and it is just two syllables, never "ZEE-noh-h" or "zeh-NOH". English speakers usually say it like the philosopher Zeno, while the maintainers' own /zeno/ notation and many European users give ZEH-noh.

Alternate readings you might hear:

• "zeh noh" /ˈzɛnoʊ/

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. Pronounce is a community-maintained dictionary — every entry tagged with a confidence level and (where possible) a citable source.
