How is Peter Debye's name pronounced?

[cmb]

I keep hearing people saying DEB-EYE.

If it is a Dutch name, surely it is pronounced DAB-HEY-YEAH (not quite like that, but I'm trying to find something close to unambiguous syllables).

Who's Dutch here that can cover this for me, please?

(Of course, the pronunciation in English is different, as you note.)
