How to write Zechariah in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Zechariah becomes ゼカライア, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ゼ | ze | |
| カ | ka | |
| ラ | ra | |
| イ | i | |
| ア | a |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ゼカライア・スミス for Zechariah Smith.
