How to write Elina in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Elina becomes エリナ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| エ | e | |
| リ | ri | |
| ナ | na |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example エリナ・スミス for Elina Smith.
