How do you spell Courtney in Japanese?

Japanese names are spelled using kanji (漢字), or characters adapted from Chinese. The combination of different kanji create different meanings and different ways to read the names.

Foreign names are spelled with katakana (カタカナ), which are simpler characters designed to convert foreign Words to Japanese. Katakana stand for spoken syllables, such as su (ス) or rya (リャ). Foreign names are broken down into these syllables, assigned katakana, and written out.

For example, the name "Thomas" is pronounced "Tomasu" and written "トマス."
