How to write Mel in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Mel becomes メル, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| メ | me | |
| ル | ru |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example メル・スミス for Mel Smith.
