How to write Claire in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Claire becomes クレア, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ク | ku | |
| レ | re | |
| ア | a |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example クレア・スミス for Claire Smith.
