  • The question I get asked the most is: can you translate my name into Japanese?
    I want to explain here and share with you the process that it takes to translate western names into Japanese, because I think its actually pretty easy.

      Katakana and hiragana have some similar characters so it's not that hard such as
      Hiragana: Katakana
      せ : セ (se)
      か : カ (ka)
      き : キ (ki)
      Etc
      There are these words that will give you some trouble in katakana
      シ (shi)
      ツ (tsu)
      ン (n)
      ソ (so)
      ノ (no)
      And these in hiragana
      を (wo)
      ぬ (nu)
      め (me)
      ゆ(yu)
      ね (ne)
      れ (re)
      け (ke)
      た (ta)
      に (ni)
      は (ha)
      ほ (ho)
      ま (ma)
      BTW I learnt these in a continuous week with practice so I believe you can do too and better. Good luck! Oh and on a last note here are some example of Kanji writings
      山 (Yama) = Mountains
      二 (ni) = two
      好き (suki) = like love etc

    My name is ルーク. Which is Ruuku.
    So basically, my name is Luke, however the "Lu" sound simply doesn't exist in japanese, although it can be swapped out for a similar "Ru".
    The ending singular sound of "K" isn't possible in Japanese, so we swap that for "Ku". I specifically chose "Ku" because the vowel is dominantly pronounced with the "U" vowel.
    Now, we need to extend the "U" vowel, to compensate for the pronunciation of Luke.
    So we have ル (Ru) and extension of the words to make the U sound longer ー and finally く (Ku).
    This is written in Katakana.
    Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

      My name is Luc, but I live in brazil, and it's pronounced basically the same as Luke. In france I think it sounds closer to "Lyuk", but that would make it Ryukku (thats whats google translate says it should be in japanese) but I don't like how that sounds, so I'd probably go by ルーク (Ruuku)

    You get two different choices with Katakana:
    - Traditional (which uses only the ones which can correspond easily into Japanese phonology)
    - Expanded (which for English and/or foreign speakers makes translating their words easier to differentiate)
    So long as you know the basics for how to pronounce the word you wish to transliterate, then you can easily make it so.

    As someone who's name ends with "el", I think I'd rather drop the "l" sound and simply end with the "è" sound.

      @@evie5375 No, you cannot do whatever you want in most cases. It can be hard to tell what to use for names, but there should be only one variation of that name. For example, アレックス and アレックスー are different. You have to use the first one.
