Έμμα is Emma in the Greek alphabet, spelled the way Greek newspapers write foreign names — phonetically, with the required accent mark on the stressed syllable. The breakdown below shows each part.

How it works

Greek writes foreign names phonetically, and its alphabet plays by its own rules: the letter b sounds like v, d like th - so English names use letter pairs instead (David becomes Ντέιβιντ, with ντ doing the d). We look your name up in a pronunciation dictionary of over 120,000 English words and rebuild that pronunciation the way Greek newspapers do, down to the accent mark Greek spelling requires on the stressed syllable.

If your name is too new or too rare for the dictionary, we sound it out from the spelling first and tell you so under the result.

An honest word: Greek renderings of names are conventions with real variation - older texts hellenized names entirely. That is why every rendering here carries the approximate mark, and why names we have verified against real Greek usage show their everyday spelling instead.
