Couldn’t have chosen a more difficult (and ambiguous) name to pronounce, could you? It almost sounds like a curse that I often hear people say out in the bad streets of New York City.

Elder [0] and Younger [1] Futhark (or Fuþark) are the name of two runic writing systems used by Germanic and Scandinavian Vikings. The name Futhark is a combination of the first 6 runes /f/, /u/, /ð/, /ɑ/, /r/, and /k/. Similar to how you get the name "alphabet" from the first two letters of Greek's writing system.
