How to write Octavio in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Octavio becomes オクタビオ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| オ | o | |
| ク | ku | |
| タ | ta | |
| ビ | bi | |
| オ | o |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example オクタビオ・スミス for Octavio Smith.
