How to Say "Rachel" in Japanese

レイチェル

Reicheru

レイチェル (Reicheru) is the Japanese way to say the female given name Rachel.

Because this is a foreign name, it is written using Katakana, the Japanese script used for loanwords and foreign names.

Meaning: female given name (name)

How do you pronounce it?

Reicheru

If a person named Rachel wants a Japanese name that sounds similar, they might choose the kanji 麗 for 'rei' meaning 'lovely' or 'beautiful'.
While レイチェル is the standard transcription, some Japanese people might associate the sound 'rei' with the word for 'zero' or 'spirit'.
Because Japanese is a mora-timed language, レイチェル is perceived as four beats (re-i-che-ru) rather than two syllables.
