First, (sorry if this sounds mean) it is spelled with an S, not a Z. You spelled it how it was pronounced.

Yamasaki means mountain blossom. Yama being blossom, and saki meaning blossom. Actually, there are many different versions of that name, it varies when it comes to the kanji form. Japanese people have different types of writing forms and when it comes to names,, they usually use Chinese symbols (aka Kanji). So it actually depends on how they would spell it in Hiragana. So you can use the same Kanji symbols if the name is Yamasaki or Yamazaki (and yes, it is a name to whoever wrote this before). The Hiragana (or any of the Kana writings) spelling is different but can use the same Kanji spelling). Yes, you spell it how it was pronounced, but it varies when you actually use Kanji because many names can be spelled differently in Kanji, but you have to really pay attention to how they emphasize the pronunciation (some books I've seen even have one of the Kana forms above or besides the Kanji), if you get the idea. Even Japanese natives would sometimes mis-say or mis-read names because of the Kanji (I know a few that have done that). And Yama means mountain and saki means blossom. - crkossi
