How to Say "Terry" in Japanese

テリー (Terī) is the Japanese way to say the masculine given name Terry.

テリー is used to refer to the name Terry. Because it is a foreign name, it is written using the Katakana script.

How do you pronounce it?

Terī

While テリー is the standard transcription for the name 'Terry', it is also the word for 'terry cloth' in Japanese, referring to the looped fabric used for towels.
If you were to write the name using Kanji, you would have to choose characters based on their sounds, a practice known as 'ateji', as there is no standard way to write 'Terry' with Japanese characters.
