How do you pronounce it?

mariamu

Did you know?

  • If a person named Maryam wants to choose a Japanese name for themselves, they might select 漢字 (kanji) that mimic the sounds 'ma', 'ri', and 'amu' to give the name a specific meaning.
  • While English speakers say the name with two syllables, a Japanese speaker will naturally pronounce it with four moras: 'ma-ri-a-mu'.
  • The Japanese language uses an added vowel sound at the end of マリアム to fit its moraic structure, as Japanese syllables generally cannot end in a consonant except for 'n'.
