How to write Beatrix in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Beatrix becomes ベアトリクス, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ベ | be | |
| ア | a | |
| ト | to | |
| リ | ri | |
| ク | ku | |
| ス | su |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ベアトリクス・スミス for Beatrix Smith.
