Rukhsanna Guidroz: Hello, my name is Rukhsanna Guidroz. That's ROOK-SAH-NAH. It's Persian so the correct pronunciation is ROCCH-SAH-NAH and it means dawn or new beginning. My last name is Guidroz, and that's my husband's last name. Many people pronounce the Z. My mother-in-law did, but my husband doesn't. The name comes from Europe and most likely it's French. Guide means guide. To make things more complicated, as you can hear, I was born and raised in England.
