How to write Eliza in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Eliza becomes イライザ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| イ | i | |
| ラ | ra | |
| イ | i | |
| ザ | za |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example イライザ・スミス for Eliza Smith.
