Georgina in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Georgina 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 ョ at about half size, in the lower left of the square (in horizontal writing). ジョ is one sound, jo.
• 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.

Georgina on Japanese forms

Example full name: Georgina Smith → ジョージナ・スミス (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: スミス ジョージナ. 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 じょーじな); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ｽﾐｽ ｼﾞｮｰｼﾞﾅ).

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.
