As a Mandarin speaker, I've always pronounced it something like "loo-tsuh," since that's how the "e" vowel is pronounced. (The "ee" sound would be written with an "i.")

This episode inspired one of my favorite Steven Universe shitposts of all time:

“Steven Quartz Universe, you were named after the number of lions I own, which is seven, plus a ’t’ because Greg insisted.”
