How to write Robyn in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Robyn becomes ロビン, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ロ | ro | |
| ビ | bi | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ロビン・スミス for Robyn Smith.
