In Japanese, Liam is written リアム in katakana, the syllable script Japan uses for foreign names. Each character represents one beat of sound, built from the English pronunciation of Liam.
How it works
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, a syllable script - so David becomes De-i-bi-d-do, each symbol one beat of sound. We look your name up in a pronunciation dictionary of over 120,000 English words and rebuild that pronunciation beat by beat, long marks (ー), small tsu doublings and all, following the conventions Japanese uses for English loanwords.
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: katakana renderings of names are conventions with real variation - the same name can appear in print two ways. That is why every rendering here carries the approximate mark.
