How do you pronounce it?
Marukomu
Did you know?
- While マルコム is the standard transcription, some Japanese people might use 'ateji' to give the name マルコム meaningful Kanji characters, effectively giving a foreign name a Japanese spiritual meaning.
- Because the sound 'l' does not exist in Japanese, the name マルコム is pronounced with a Japanese 'r' sound, which is a flick of the tongue similar to the 'tt' in the English word 'better'.
- If a person named Malcolm were to use a seal or 'hanko' for official documents in Japan, their name マルコム would often be carved in a stylized script that looks very different from standard printed Katakana.
