Arekkusu
アレックス (Arekkusu) is the Japanese way to say the given name Alex.
アレックス is used as a given name for a person.
How do you pronounce it?
Arekkusu
Did you know?
- Because Japanese syllables usually end in vowels, the name 'Alex' gains an extra vowel sound at the end and becomes アレックス, which sounds like 'A-re-kku-su'.
- The small ッ in アレックス is a sokuon, which represents a brief pause or a doubled consonant rather than a spoken sound.
- If you were to write the name using Kanji instead of Katakana, you would have to choose characters based on their sound rather than their meaning, a process known as 'ateji'.
