Where do you learn how to write your name in Japanese?

Learn how to write your name in Japanese using online resources such as Japanese Name Converter or Your Name in Japanese. These websites translate English names into Katakana, the Japanese phonetic alphabet used to spell out foreign names and words.

A printable Katakana chart is available on FreeJapaneeseLessons.com for pedagogical reference. The Japanese language has fewer sounds than the English language, so it isn't always possible to determine a direct transliteration. The sound "V" does not exist in Japanese; it is historically translated as "B" and more recently as "U." Reference the Latin alphabet transliterations to find the corresponding character in Katakana to construct your name.
