How is it correctly pronounced, Jelu or Gelu? I've seen both in games from different years, and how is his name actually spelled in the original?

It seems like Gely.

In English, it's Gelu. Actually, the most correct pronunciation is Gelo, but the variations Gelu and Jelu are more common.

Traditionally, he is called Jelu, as most players refer to him. Although, perhaps, his real name is Gelo.

Jelu sounds better. Names and titles are not translated; they retain the same transcription, meaning Jelo and Jelu (it doesn't matter, they sound similar).

How do you pronounce it correctly, "Jelu" or "Gelu"?

According to the rules of the English language, the letter "G" is pronounced as "J" if it is followed by the letters E, I, or Y.
So, in any case, it's not "Gelu".

According to the rules of the English language, the letter "G" is pronounced as "дж" (like the "j" in "jump") if it is followed by the letters E, I, or Y.
So, in any case, it's not "Gelu."

"Dzelu" is a transcription according to the rules of English, and everything else is just improvisation and a flight of fancy... :)
