How to write Makenna in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Makenna becomes マケナ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| マ | ma | |
| ケ | ke | |
| ナ | na |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example マケナ・スミス for Makenna Smith.
