Did you know?
- While ギジェルモ is the standard for Spanish, the English equivalent 'William' is transcribed as ウィリアム, meaning the same original name is written and pronounced two completely different ways in Japanese.
- If you were to write this name using Japanese kanji instead of katakana, you would have to choose characters based solely on their sounds, a process known as 'ateji'.
- When introducing someone named ギジェルモ, a Japanese speaker will almost always add the honorific さん to the end, as using a name alone is considered overly blunt or rude.
