How do I write my Burmese name in Japanese?
Start with the Latin-letter spelling you already use. For example, Mya Mya Paing gives ミャ・ミャ・パイン. The middle dots separate the parts so they are easier to read; they do not mark a first name or surname.
Katakana is the usual choice for foreign names in Japanese. Hiragana is shown alongside it as a reading aid. The Latin letters in the result describe the Japanese reading, not a replacement spelling for your original name.
Already have a Japanese spelling?
Keep it. Open “Adjust the Katakana” below your result and enter the spelling you use. Copying and the name card will both follow that change. You can also remove the middle dots if you do not use them.
Aye, for example, appears as both エイ and エー in Japanese-language name records. A familiar spelling used by the person matters more than picking one version for everybody.
