How to write Angel in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Angel becomes エンジェル, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| エ | e | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
| ジェ | je | two characters read as one sound |
| ル | ru |
You may also see Angel written アンヘル (Anheru). Both are used; エンジェル is the more common spelling.
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example エンジェル・スミス for Angel Smith.
