It's pronounced ah-LEE-thee-ah, in contrast to Alessia (ah-LESS-ee-ah) and Alicia (ah-LISH-ah/ah-LIH-see-ah).

This name is actually pronounced a-LEE-thee-a, it doesn't sound anything like Alicia. This is my daughter's name, and the few other Alethea's we have met all pronounce it the same way.

I think this looks so pretty but I agree with jaimetanae about the lispy sound.. every time I say it it sounds similar to Alessia with a lisp :(

Hi, ive had this name my whole life and i've always pronounced it
Uh - Lee - Thee - Uh
I love this pronunciation the best because any othe way doesn't make sense in my head. Because by following proper grammer the A makes the Uh sound, LE makes Lee, the makes THEE, and uh again. However any way you say Alethea will be amazing if said with love
