Evie in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Evie in katakana

• ー is the long-vowel mark: it stretches the sound before it. In vertical writing it turns into a vertical line.
• Write the small ィ at about half size, in the lower left of the square (in horizontal writing). ヴィ is one sound, vi.
• The V sound can be written with ヴ or with the バ-row (ba, bi, bu, be, bo). Both are accepted by the 1991 rules; the バ-row is more common in everyday writing.
• 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.

Evie on Japanese forms

Example full name: Evie Smith → イーヴィー・スミス (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: スミス イーヴィー. In a フリガナ (furigana) field write it in katakana; if the field says ふりがな use hiragana (すみす いーゔぃー); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ｽﾐｽ ｲｰｳﾞｨｰ).

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.
