At the bottom of http://www.debian.org/intro/about you can find the
statement:
--
Since many people have asked, Debian is pronounced 'deb ee n'. It comes
from the names of the creator of Debian, Ian Murdock, and his wife, Debra.
--
Other words that start the same are:
debit deb-it
debonair deb-onair
debutant deb-utant
Other words that sound the same on the end, not the best but all I
could think of,
european europ-ean
mediterranean mediterran-ean
Hope this helps,
