Sometimes we get asked about the proper pronunciation or origin of the word Behance. Occasionally we’ll hear things that sound more like Beyonce, Bohance, or Bayhance, so we thought we’d clear things up a bit.
The name “Behance” was inspired by the word and meaning of “enhance” – making things better and empowering people to be more effective. The “be” implies that we must do it for ourselves; we must BE leaders of our own creative pursuits and develop the capacity to push our own ideas to fruition rather than rely on others.
As for the pronunciation…
“Биханс” on Russian
now you must use that bee as a new logo for something >=D
Haven’t heard of Paul Rand I guess Mr Raiman
I choose to pronounce it like Beyonce’ and will continue to do so.
Don’t mind Behance turning into a bit of a Beyonce LOL
Feeling very smug that I knew the ‘correct’ pronunciation
But as a photographer who has to take down people’s names, you get a feel for it after a while…
Bæhance…lol
For some reason I would always pronounce it with a posh English accent, “Bee-harns”
Great to know, thanks!
Bijans in spanish pronuntiation
Is the emphasis on the BE or the HANCE?
«бихэнс».

býhenc
I was pronouncing in “bay-hance” because of the line on top of the e. Does that have a special meaning? If it was an accent, it would be prounounced “bay-hance” in French.
