How to write Everleigh in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Everleigh becomes エバリー, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| エ | e | |
| バ | ba | |
| リ | ri | |
| ー | – | long vowel mark: hold the sound before it a little longer |
You may also see Everleigh written エヴァリー (Evarī). Both are used; エバリー is the more common spelling.
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example エバリー・スミス for Everleigh Smith.
