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