How to write Sybil in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Sybil becomes シビル, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| シ | shi | |
| ビ | bi | |
| ル | ru |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example シビル・スミス for Sybil Smith.
