How to write Abraham in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Abraham becomes エイブラハム, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| エ | e | |
| イ | i | |
| ブ | bu | |
| ラ | ra | |
| ハ | ha | |
| ム | mu |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example エイブラハム・スミス for Abraham Smith.
