1. How to Write Your Name in Arabic

Arabic speakers use the Arabic alphabet to write English names. To write your English name in Arabic, first you need to know the 28 letters.

The easiest way is to find an Arabic letter that corresponds to the pronunciation of your Arabic name. For example, if your name is “Maya,” you can use the letter م, for the “m” sound, ا for “aa” sound, ي for “ya” sound, then ا for “aa” sound. You just need to put them together and write مايا for “Maya.”

Hi Emery,


A common way to write "Emery" in Arabic is: إيمري (romanization: "Ímri" - pronounced like "EE-meh-ree"). You can choose a slightly different spelling if you pronounce it with a stronger middle vowel, for example ايمري (without the initial accent mark). If you tell us how you pronounce your name, we can suggest the closest Arabic spelling.


If you have any questions, please let us know.

شكرا

Since your name has multiple parts, we represent each one using the closest matching sounds in Arabic to keep the pronunciation as natural as possible.
