How to write Grace in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Grace becomes グレース, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| グ | gu | |
| レ | re | |
| ー | – | long vowel mark: hold the sound before it a little longer |
| ス | su |
You may also see Grace written グレイス (Gureisu). Both are used; グレース is the more common spelling.
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example グレース・スミス for Grace Smith.
