How to write Tiana in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Tiana becomes ティアナ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ティ | ti | two characters read as one sound |
| ア | a | |
| ナ | na |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ティアナ・スミス for Tiana Smith.
