How to write Fiona in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Fiona becomes フィオナ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| フィ | fi | two characters read as one sound |
| オ | o | |
| ナ | na |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example フィオナ・スミス for Fiona Smith.
