How to Say "Ezekiel" in Japanese

エゼキエル

Ezekieru[e̞ze̞kʲie̞ɾɯ̟]

The English name Ezekiel is translated into Japanese as エゼキエル (Ezekieru).

エゼキエル is the Japanese way to write and say the male given name Ezekiel.

Meaning: male given name (name)

How do you pronounce it?

The romanization is Ezekieru.

If a Japanese person were to write the name using Kanji, they would likely choose characters based on their sounds, a practice known as 'ateji'.
In Japanese media, names like エゼキエル are often used for characters in fantasy or historical settings to signal that they are from a distant, Westernized world.
Because Japanese syllables usually end in vowels, the final 'l' in Ezekiel is transformed into ル (ru), which adds an extra vowel sound not present in the English pronunciation.
