#How do you pronounce Kamala Harris? Here is the right way to say her name

Kamala Harris is used to people butchering her name.

The presumptive Democratic vice presidential candidate released a video in 2016 with kids showing the proper pronunciation of her first name.

It’s not “camel-uh,” or “kuh-mahl-uh” or “karmel-uh,” according to the clip, which aired during Harris’ run for Senate.

Simply put — it’s “comma-la,” the California senator wrote in the preface of her 2019 memoir “The Truths We Hold.”

“It means ‘lotus flower,’ which is a symbol of significance in Indian culture,” she wrote. “A lotus grows underwater, its flower rising above the surface while its roots are planted firmly in the river bottom.”

Harris’ father, Donald Harris, is Jamaican and her late mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, was Indian.
