How do you say bjorn

I tend to say "byorn" but I've heard other moms say "b-zhourne". Does anyone know how it should be pronounced? Like the baby bjorn brand? Just curious!

I'll look it up really quick and edit. I SO should be in bed! ETA: I was right. It is of Scandinavian origin, and its meaning is "bear.

It's Swedish and means "bear. I studied abroad in Sweden long ago and don't recall meeting any bjorns, human or otherwise. My memory and accent are rusty, but in Swedish, it is pronounced like a very soft, one syllable version of "b-zhourne" The J is almost a Y, but not quite, and R sound in b-zhourne is also almost silent, but not quite.

It's very close to byorn AND very close to b-zhourne. I personally just say "byorn" here. As long as you avoid saying "baby born," I think it's fine. So foreign words, especially proper nouns, can fairly be pronounced differently in another language.
