Why John becomes Джон
Names are written by sound. English J normally becomes the two-letter Russian combination Дж, while English W often becomes В or У depending on the word. The full letter table explains every choice.

Questions
Name converter FAQ
How do I write my name in Russian?
Write the sound of the name with Cyrillic letters rather than translating its meaning. Common names often have an established Russian spelling, while uncommon names may have more than one reasonable version.
Is a Cyrillic name spelling an official translation?
No. This tool gives a learning-oriented spelling. Official documents follow the rules of the issuing authority and may require a certified translator.
Why can the same name have two Russian spellings?
Russian does not contain every English sound, and English spelling does not always reveal pronunciation. Different source accents and conventions can therefore produce different Cyrillic choices.
Does this tool store my name?
The conversion runs in your browser. Analytics record only that the tool was used, an input-length range, and whether the phonetic fallback was needed, not the name itself.
