Explanation:
In Turkish we do write the names in the same way. Sometimes in some cases Turkish pronounciation is given in parantheses next to the name but we do not write the names in any other way. This is the case for any name written in Latin alphabet.


If her name is spelled Jilian in English language then it is Jilian in Turkish and its pronounciation would be (Cilian or Ciliyan)
