How do you pronounce it?

Eriotto

Did you know?

  • When addressing an エリオット in a social or professional setting, a Japanese speaker would almost always add the suffix さん ('san') to the end of the name.
  • Because the sound 'L' does not exist in Japanese, エリオット uses the r sound, which is produced by a quick flick of the tongue similar to a Spanish 'r'.
  • The spelling エリオット uses a small 'tsu' (ッ) to create a double consonant, which creates a tiny, characteristic pause before the final 'to'.

Examples in context

  • 私の名前はエリオットです。
    My name is Elliot.
