Rhodes is a proper noun used mainly as a surname and as the name of a Greek island. It is pronounced as a single syllable in most contexts, rhyming with “roads.” The term frequently appears in discussions of geography, history, and travel, and it also refers to the ancient city-states and to Rhodesian-associated place names in former colonial contexts. The pronunciation emphasizes the long “o” sound and lacks a pronounced final consonant.
