How to write Gloria in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Gloria becomes グロリア, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| グ | gu | |
| ロ | ro | |
| リ | ri | |
| ア | a |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example グロリア・スミス for Gloria Smith.
