(Why'd my original post get deleted?)

Yeah, maybe in your world... In my world 1+1=2 not 1+1=7.

Just because it refers to Zeus doesn't mean it's (Ar-Soose), (Ar-Suse), etc. it IS (Arr-See-Us),
but feel free to think otherwise because there is NO right/wrong answers everyone's opinions are different. ;)

The Prefix "Arc-" means Arcangel and Deus/Zeus

Seus as in Zeus, the highest of gods, AR as in, you need to hack to get it.
^{*I felt like this post needed some humor...}

The orgin of Arceus's name is Archeus

Spoiler:

In alchemy, Archeus, or archaeus, is a term used generally to refer to the lowest and most dense aspect of the astral plane which presides over the growth and continuation of all living beings.

To define it, the philosophers maintained that the Archeus was the segment of the closest quadrant of the higher worlds which blends with some similarity to the highest vibrations of our physical world. Essentially it was seen as the "gray area" wherein matter, speaking parallel and not laterally, begins to transmute into spiritual energies. in effect it is the glue which binds the heavens to the material, and so allows the maxim "As above so below."

Apart from the Archeus, which is primarily a Platonic name for the subject, this sphere is also called the Anima Mundi, Soul of the World, Spirit of the World, The Transitive LVX, The Path of Saturn (connecting Malkuth and Yesod on the system of Jewish mysticism called the Kabbalah), the Earth Sphere and the Zone Girdling the Earth. It is also sometimes simply called the lower astral sphere, or the "geographic" region of it, as everything in the Archeus parallels physical manifestation.

Ar-soose for me, since its name after Zeus.

 

[DonRoyale]

Ar-see-us

Because Ar-key-us sounds strange :S

Before I figured out it's "Arc" and not "Acr", like I thought it was, I pronounced it "Ache-ree-us". Oops.

If thats its Japanese name also, then it would be pronoucned 'ar-say-us', technically. Just because of how the Japanese pronouce E's. But just looking at the name, when I didn't know too much about the Pokemon, I thought it was pronounced 'ar-see-us'. That's still how I say it, most of the time.

Arkayus doesn't make any sense. o_O Why would you pronounce it that way?

Latin influence since 'deus' is pronounced 'day-uhs,' but I just like the hard c sound better, assuming it came from 'arch.'

...even though the Japanese version says Arseus. Oh well.

Arceus's name may come from the words arch (highest) and deus, which is Latin and Greek for god. It may also have a root in the Latin word arcanus, which means secret; sacred mystery. Arceus's name may also come from the word archaic (ancient), which comes from the Greek arkhaios. It could have also come from the Latin word archetypus (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of Zeus, the most powerful of Greek gods and arch (highest).

In alchemy, Archeus, or archaeus, is a term used generally to refer to the lowest and most dense aspect of the astral plane which presides over the growth and continuation of all living beings.

I pronounce ARCEUS as:

are-SHE-iss*

I don't know the grammatic pronunciation and don't see how such things matter.

*I kinda sound like I say it as "yar-SHE-iss", but that would be the way I speak.
