Write your name in Greek
Type a name or a word. See the Greek spelling and print it.
About this tool
Greek has used its own alphabet for almost three thousand years, and the Latin alphabet itself descends from it, which is why so many letters look familiar. A name written in Greek letters is spelled by sound: Alexander becomes Αλέξανδρος in Greek, but a simple letter-for-letter transliteration gives Αλεξανδερ.
This tool uses a common, readable letter-by-letter scheme: th becomes θ, ph becomes φ, ch becomes χ, ps becomes ψ, ks and x become ξ, ou becomes ου, and a final s becomes the end-of-word sigma ς. It is meant for learning, tattoos-to-check and school projects. If you need a name for a document or a tattoo, ask a Greek speaker to check it, because real Greek names have their own spellings, endings and accents.
Press the practice sheet button to open the worksheet maker filled in with the Greek spelling, and every Greek letter on this site has its own page with stroke order.
The letters are drawn from the Greek alphabet pages. Accents are left out.
