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