Abbott in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Abbott in katakana

• The small ッ is a short pause that doubles the next consonant. Write it half size; a full-size ツ would be read "tsu".
• Japanese syllables end in a vowel (except ン), so the final consonant of Abbott becomes ト (to). Say it lightly.
• Katakana is written left to right like English, or top to bottom in vertical text. Keep every character the same size except the small ones.

Abbott on Japanese forms

Example full name: John Abbott → ジョン・アボット (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: アボット ジョン. In a フリガナ (furigana) field write it in katakana; if the field says ふりがな use hiragana (あぼっと じょん); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ｱﾎﾞｯﾄ ｼﾞｮﾝ).

Japan has no official katakana spelling for foreign names. Once you use a spelling for a bank account, phone contract or employer, keep using the same one so your records match.
