The model, 31, revealed “the Polish way” in which her name should be pronounced, as opposed to the Americanised way, in a clip posted by Tory Burch on the social media platform.
In the viral video, Ratajkowski is asked how her last name is pronounced while sat in a make-up chair getting ready for a fashion show during New York Fashion Week.
Ratajkowski replied that her name is pronounced: “Rah-tah-kove-skee”, leaving the ‘j’ out completely, which fans often include when referring to her.
The podcaster then added: “Actually, if its feminine, its ‘Rah-tah-kove-ska.’”
Ratajkowski was born in London and raised in the San Diego, California, in the United States, and previously said she ethnically identities herself as “Polish-Israeli”.
The model has been busy this week as she’s attended and featured in several fashions shows for NYFW.
Ratajkowski’s viral video comes after going Instagram official with comedian Eric André in a Valentine’s Day post.
The pair appeared to confirm their romance, as André, 39, shared a couple of racy snaps of himself lying naked on a couch, as Ratajkowski could be seen in the reflection of a nearby mirror, also nude.
Earlier this week, the couple were pictured attending a basketball game together at Madison Square Garden on a date.
Ratajkowski split from her ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, with whom she shares a one-year-old son last year, following cheating rumours.
The model has since been linked to DJ Orazio Rispo, comedian Jack Greer and Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson, who previously dated Kim Kardashian.
It was reported that Ratajkowski and Davidson, 29, called it quits in December, after a few weeks of dating.
A source told People at the time: “Em is single and totally happy. She will always prioritise her son, but enjoys dating when she has time.
“She enjoys her independence. She doesn’t have plans to see Pete again. She had fun with him, but she realised she didn’t want it to become anything else. She likes her life as it is.”
