Best Answer

Naive is the anglicized form of the French word naïve. Both forms are correct in English usage.

The accent tréma ¨ can be on an E, I, or U. It is used when two vowels are next to each other and both must be pronounced, e.g., naïve, Saül. Unlike the similar looking German umlaut, it does not affect or alter the sound of the accompanying vowel
