How to write Vera in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Vera becomes ベラ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ベ | be | |
| ラ | ra |
You may also see Vera written ヴェラ (Vera). Both are used; ベラ is the more common spelling.
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ベラ・スミス for Vera Smith.
