There are no firm rules for pronouncing names. The best approach is to ask, if possible, the person how he/she wishes the name to be pronounced.

I would guess the pronunciation as: dee-YEN-keh-vich.

Some of these Slavic names depend on whether it's Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, or something else, as these languages often have the same words but with different stress patterns.

Probably ****-a-vich or din-KAY-vich.

If you don't mind I will answer your question. It is just Slavic last name written with English letters, so you should pronounce it as it written: y=i
Din-keh-vich. sorry for my English.

Yes, but where's the stress? Can you show that in capital letters?

However. I would say that English people commonly 'anglicize' the pronunciation of foreign names. Most people are not aware of the niceties of eg Slavic pronunciation.

Consider eg that we say Parisss, not Pareee.
