How to write Jeremias in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Jeremias becomes ヘレミアス, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ヘ | he | |
| レ | re | |
| ミ | mi | |
| ア | a | |
| ス | su |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ヘレミアス・スミス for Jeremias Smith.
