How to write Travis in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Travis becomes トラビス, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ト | to | |
| ラ | ra | |
| ビ | bi | |
| ス | su |
You may also see Travis written トラヴィス (Toravisu). Both are used; トラビス is the more common spelling.
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example トラビス・スミス for Travis Smith.
