How to write Penelope in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Penelope becomes ペネロペ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ペ | pe | |
| ネ | ne | |
| ロ | ro | |
| ペ | pe |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ペネロペ・スミス for Penelope Smith.
