How to spell YUTO in sign language

Yuto fingerspelled in ASL is 4 handshapes, signed one after another with the palm facing out. Hold each for a beat and keep the hand in one place; the letters carry the word, not the movement.

Letter by letter

Y Thumb and pinky extended outward to opposite sides; index, middle, and ring fingers curled into the palm.
U Index and middle fingers extended straight up and held tightly together; thumb holds ring and pinky down.
T A fist with the thumb tucked under the index finger, peeking out between the index and middle fingers.
O All fingertips curved forward to touch the tip of the thumb, forming a closed O circle.

Fingerspelling is how ASL handles names, places, brands and words without a sign of their own. Many everyday words do have a sign, so if you are learning ASL as a language, learn that sign too; this page shows how the word is spelled with the manual alphabet.
