Both a system and method are provided for transliterating a name written in the letters of an alphabet of a source language to a name in the letters of an alphabet of a target language. The system includes instructions to determine whether the letters of the alphabets of the source and target languages are the same. If so, the instructions transliterate the name into the same letters used in the source language alphabet. If not, the instructions (1) determine the sound associated with each of the letters of the source language that form the name; (2) transliterate the letters into letters of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to create a same or similar sounding name in the letters of the IPA; (3) determine the sound associated with each of the letters of the target language, and (4) transliterate the letters of the IPA form into letters of the target language.
