Windsor may refer to many places and other things. Most of these ultimately derive from the name of the English town of Windsor, famous for Windsor Castle and its association with the royal House of Windsor, although the derivation may be very indirect. In most usages, the pronunciation is usually [ˈwɪnzə], [ˈwɪndzə], or [ˈwɪndzɚ] (IPA).
