How to write Valeria in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Valeria becomes バレリア, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| バ | ba | |
| レ | re | |
| リ | ri | |
| ア | a |
You may also see Valeria written ヴァレリア (Vareria). Both are used; バレリア is the more common spelling.
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example バレリア・スミス for Valeria Smith.
