How to write Davis in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Davis becomes デイビス, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| デ | de | |
| イ | i | |
| ビ | bi | |
| ス | su |
You may also see Davis written デイヴィス (Deivisu). Both are used; デイビス is the more common spelling.
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example デイビス・スミス for Davis Smith.
