How to write Victoria in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Victoria becomes ビクトリア, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ビ | bi | |
| ク | ku | |
| ト | to | |
| リ | ri | |
| ア | a |
You may also see Victoria written ヴィクトリア (Vikutoria). Both are used; ビクトリア is the more common spelling.
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ビクトリア・スミス for Victoria Smith.
