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