It's pronounced 'coont'. Just like the Germanic last name 'Butt' is pronounced 'boot'.

Thanks for the reply and the correct pronunciation. I was sure it wasn't pronounced the 'other' way but being a 'dumb' American, unfamiliar with German pronunciations, I felt it is going to be an awkward name for most North Americans.

Somebody posted a historical video about the Kuhnt family, and I'd swear they pronounce it just like my 3rd-grade mind thought it would be (i.e. rhymes with "mother in law"). Now I'll just have to stop working and hunt down the darned video.....
...a short waste of time later: (turns out it was the Quandts I was thinking of). |
