Indian people use the Hindi alphabet to write English names. To write your English name in Hindi, first you need to know the basics of the alphabet.

The easiest way is to find a Hindi letter that corresponds to the pronunciation of your Hindi name. For example, if your name is “Maya,” look for the character for ma, which is मा, then the other character for ya, which is या. You just need to put them together and write माया for “Maya.”

Hello Unkann,


We can write your name in Hindi in a couple of common phonetic ways depending on pronunciation:

- उनकान (Unkān) - if the final vowel sounds like long "aa"

- उनकन्न (Unkann) - if the final consonant is a doubled "n" sound


If you tell us how you pronounce your name (stress and vowels), we can suggest the best single spelling.

यदि आपके पास कोई प्रश्न है तो कृपया बताइए। (If you have any questions, please let us know.)


धन्यवाद
