What is the correct pronunciation of Boudica?
It’s interesting how there is sporadic and continuing interest in Boudica. For pronunciation please see http://www.gallica.co.uk/celts/boudica.htm. Search the page for the word pronounce and learn that the spelling of the name is uncertain. Although “Boudica” is followed by Salway and Frere, among others, it probably should be “Boudica”, which means “victory” in Celtic and would be the equivalent of the modern “Victoria”. In any event, “Boadicea” is incorrect. (pronounce Boudica – Boo-di-ka). Also see http://tthaforumarchives.info/archives/2003/H03018.txt and search on Boadicea on the last page.
