Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

If you want to pronounce it in Swedish, since it's a Swedish company, correct pronounciation is EE-KEH-AH, stress 2nd syllable. IKEA means Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd. Ingvar Kamprad's the name of the founder of IKEA, the last two words are names of the villages where he grew up and started his business.
