How to write Evelyn in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Evelyn becomes エブリン, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| エ | e | |
| ブ | bu | |
| リ | ri | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
You may also see Evelyn written エヴリン (Evurin). Both are used; エブリン is the more common spelling.
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example エブリン・スミス for Evelyn Smith.
