How to Say "Marie" in Japanese

マリー

Marī[ma̠ɾʲiː]

The Japanese name Marie is written as マリー (Marī).

マリー is a female given name.

How do you pronounce it?

Marī

While 'Marie' is a common Western name, if written with the Kanji 真理, the meaning changes to 'truth' or 'logic'.
When referring to 'Marie Antoinette' in Japanese, the name is written as マリー・アントワネット with a middle dot called a 中黒 to separate the first and last names.
