How to write Anastasia in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Anastasia becomes アナスタシア, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ア | a | |
| ナ | na | |
| ス | su | |
| タ | ta | |
| シ | shi | |
| ア | a |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example アナスタシア・スミス for Anastasia Smith.
