Question
I know that my daughters name is not Hebrew in orgin but i would like to know how to spell it in the Hebrew alphabet can you help me her name is Juanysha thank you

Answer
The name does not fit the usual sequence of Hebrew letters.  
I am not able to reproduce the Hebrew letters with my computer.
However, I think that a reasonable translation would be these letters: Yod-Waw-Nun-Yod-Shin-He.
I hope that you can find how to print these letters.  They begin on the right and go to the left.  This means that the Yod is on the right and the other letters follow in order to left side of it.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes, Melissa.
