Miller in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Miller in katakana

• ー is the long-vowel mark: it stretches the sound before it. In vertical writing it turns into a vertical line.
• Japanese has a single sound for English L and R, so both are written with the ラ-row (ra, ri, ru, re, ro).
• 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.

Miller on Japanese forms

Example full name: John Miller → ジョン・ミラー (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: ミラー 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 (みらー じょん); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ﾐﾗｰ 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.

No. Foreign names have no official kanji; they are written in katakana. Kanji versions offered online (ateji) are chosen only for sound and look, and their "meanings" are made up, so this site does not provide them.
