How to write Raven in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Raven becomes レイブン, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| レ | re | |
| イ | i | |
| ブ | bu | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
You may also see Raven written レイヴン (Reivun). Both are used; レイブン is the more common spelling.
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example レイブン・スミス for Raven Smith.
