Question:
Is letter Y in the name "Lekanyane", a vowel or not?

Answer: (Responses to questions rely on the accuracy of the name and birth date provided with the question. Typographical errors or incomplete information can result in an incorrect response.)

It depends on how the name is pronounced.

If any of these are true, then Y is calculated as a vowel:

  1. The pronunciation of the Y is silent.
  2. The Y is pronounced like one of the vowels would be pronounced if the vowel was substituted in its place.

Most letters Y in names are vowels, at least in Western names (which I am most familiar with). All the calculators at this website and at affinitynumerology.com assume the Y is a vowel.
