How to write Lila in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Lila becomes ライラ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ラ | ra | |
| イ | i | |
| ラ | ra |
You may also see Lila written リラ (Rira). Both are used; ライラ is the more common spelling.
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ライラ・スミス for Lila Smith.
