Saint-Saëns is the standard French surname of the organist and composer Camille Saint-Saëns (1839–1921), used to name the French postal/academic institution and, more generally, to refer to the composer’s family name. In English contexts, it’s pronounced as a two-part surname, often anglicized, and may be heard in references to the individual and his works. The pronunciation typically emphasizes the final syllable slightly in French usage, though Anglophone speakers may flatten some vowels.
