How to write Lucinda in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Lucinda becomes ルシンダ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ル | ru | |
| シ | shi | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
| ダ | da |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ルシンダ・スミス for Lucinda Smith.
