i'm in love with this name, it sports mystique and beauty. Plus I admire her values and personality in the bible, I think she is a great role model. I much prefer it to Esther so I would definitely consider naming my daughter this.

I am English, and pronounce it exactly as suggested on this site. I also like the nickname options. These make the name much more usable. It's way more attractive, to me, than Esther.

I MUCH prefer Esther!
Essa Says:
And I love the nicknames Haddie and Hattie.
Essa Says:
Unlike all the other commenters, I do actually pronounce this the same way as Nameberry states with the short 'a' but names are rarely pronounced with a long 'ah' sound in Britain as they are in America.
Ccppww Says:
I have never heard it pronounced as Nameberry suggests, only with a long a in the middle as noted by others. Sasha would be a cute nickname.
Michaela Says:
I've only heard the pronunciation "Ha-DAH-sa".
snowsbeloved Says:
Love this pretty name. But pronouncing it Ha-DAH-sah. Don't care for the short A sound Nameberry put for the pronunciation.

There’s no “Ah” sound in Hebrew, only “ay” and “awh”. Hadassah is pronounced Hah-Dah-Sah. There is no “Dass”
