Arekku
The masculine given name Alec is translated into Japanese as アレック (Arekku).
アレック is the katakana transliteration of the name Alec.
How do you pronounce it?
Arekku
Did you know?
- Because Japanese lacks a standalone 'L' sound, アレック uses the Japanese 'R' sound, which is a hybrid between an English 'L', 'R' and 'D'.
- If you were to write the name using kanji, you would have to choose characters based on sound rather than meaning, a practice called 'ateji'.
- The small 'tsu' (ッ) in アレック is a 'sokuon', which creates a sudden pause or double consonant rather than being pronounced as a syllable.
