How do you pronounce it?
Gureggu
Did you know?
- While 'Greg' is a short name in English, its Japanese transcription グレッグ expands the word from one syllable to four.
- A person named 'Greg' might choose a 'kanji' version of their name for a personal seal, selecting characters that mimic the sound but carry meanings like 'strength' or 'honor'.
- Japanese does not have a native 'gr' consonant cluster, so the language inserts a 'u' sound to separate the 'g' and the 'r'.

- グレッグは親切な人です。Gureggu wa shinsetsu na hito desu.Greg is a kind person.
