How to Say "Jurassic Park" in Japanese

ジュラシック・パーク

Jurashikku Pāku

ジュラシック・パーク (Jurashikku Pāku) is the Japanese way to say Jurassic Park.

This phrase refers to the title of the famous novel and movie series about a theme park featuring cloned dinosaurs.

Which one should you use?

While ジュラシック・パーク is the standard way to write the name, you will often see it written as 『ジュラシック・パーク』.

As a loanword from English, this phrase is treated as a fixed proper noun. It does not change its form to indicate grammatical case or pluralization.

Jurashikku Pāku

Japanese fans often use the abbreviation ジュラパ to refer to the series. This follows a common Japanese linguistic trend of shortening long loanwords to four syllables for ease of speech.
While the phrase is a loanword, the concept of a 'park' in Japan can vary. A パーク usually refers to a commercial theme park, whereas a traditional public park is called 公園.
The use of the middle dot ・ in ジュラシック・パーク acts as a visual spacer. It tells the reader that the two words are separate English components, preventing them from being read as one continuous Japanese word.
