How to write Solomon in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Solomon becomes ソロモン, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ソ | so | |
| ロ | ro | |
| モ | mo | |
| 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 ソロモン・スミス for Solomon Smith.
