How to write Savanna in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Savanna becomes サバンナ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| サ | sa | |
| バ | ba | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
| ナ | na |
You may also see Savanna written サヴァナ (Savana). Both are used; サバンナ is the more common spelling.
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example サバンナ・スミス for Savanna Smith.
