How to write Gabriella in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Gabriella becomes ガブリエラ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ガ | ga | |
| ブ | bu | |
| リ | ri | |
| エ | e | |
| ラ | ra |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ガブリエラ・スミス for Gabriella Smith.
