How to write Avery in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Avery becomes エイブリー, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| エ | e | |
| イ | i | |
| ブ | bu | |
| リ | ri | |
| ー | – | long vowel mark: hold the sound before it a little longer |
You may also see Avery written エイヴリー (Eivurī). Both are used; エイブリー is the more common spelling.
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example エイブリー・スミス for Avery Smith.
