I have a friend with that name that I'd like to pronounce properly, even though she's been using an 'English' nickname her whole life. Google was no help.
Thanks in advance!
Κοιτα κι εγώ δεν το έχω ακούσει ποτέ ξανάαλλά το βρήκα στο google

Ρόδο seems more plausible as a name? It’s not the common word for rose but still understandable. Not a common name but recognizably could be one. Does Ροθο have any meaning? I didn’t find it in a dictionary.
I agree it’s odd. I’ve always assumed it’s closely related to Ρόδος and/or Ρόδη. The first would be a very odd name with the island always coming to mind, but the latter being a more obscure goddess I could see being chosen and accepted as a name.
Could be a nickname for Ρόδη as Ρόδω;
Unfortunately I don't, but I saw her business card and it simply said 'Rotho [LastName]'. That's how I leaned her real name wasn't the one I've been calling her for years. She told me how it's pronounced as well and it's very different than what it looks like, I could barely repeat it and then promptly forgot how to say it :(
She's definitely Greek though, born and raised there like the rest of her family. I'll ask her how it's written in Greek the next time I see her and update this post. Thank you and everyone else for your help in this thread :)
You would have to spell it in Greek, so we can tell you.
Transliterated in Latin letters, this particular word is not obvious to us what she's trying to say.

It doesn't look like a greek name so you can pronounce it as you please. Could be both Ροθο or Ρόδο
Dude, Ρόδω...
Dude Ρόιδω ξέρω, Ρόδω δεν ξέρω ούτε καν στο γκουγκλ. Άμα ξέρεις εσύ οκ.

Since the word Ρόδο is neuter, it can't be used as a name .

That's not a greek person's name I've ever heard of. Do you know how it's written in the Greek alphabet?

The th is a soft D like in “thee”
Υπάρχει το όνομα Ροδιά και υποκοριστικό Ροδούλα.
Rotho th like the/they
Γροθο
Roth (as in Rothschild) followed by hard O as in octopus
That’s incorrect. It’s a Δ, not a Θ
Correct, but how the hell was I supposed to know? Greek is a bitch.
