How to write Doris in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Doris becomes ドリス, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ド | do | |
| リ | ri | |
| ス | su |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ドリス・スミス for Doris Smith.
