How to Say "Harrison" in Japanese

ハリソン

Harison

ハリソン (Harison) is the Japanese way to say the masculine given name or surname Harrison.

The name is written using Katakana, the script used for foreign names and loanwords.

How do you pronounce it?

Harison

If Harrison were to choose Japanese characters called Kanji for his name, he might pick 針 'hari' meaning 'needle' and 尊 'son' meaning 'revered', creating a unique personal meaning.
While ハリソン is used for the name, the Japanese word for 'son' is actually 息子 'musuko', meaning the two sounds are completely unrelated in the local language.
If you were to write ハリソン in Hiragana as はりそん, it would look like a native Japanese word or a series of syllables, which can cause confusion in text-only digital formats.

ハリソンがこの作品をパロディとして意図していなかったという証拠は、エヴァンズ夫人へ当てた手紙に見ることができる。
Evidence that Harrison did not intend this work to be a parody can be seen in his letter to Mrs. Evans.
This sentence shows how to use ハリソン in a written context regarding a letter to Mrs. Evans.
