Questions about Alexandre in Japanese

How do you write Alexandre in Japanese?

Alexandre is written アレクサンダー in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Alexandre would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag. Depending on the origin of the name, it can also be written アレクサンドル (as written in Japan) and アレシャンドレ (as written in Japan).

What are the best kanji for Alexandre?

Our top pick is 安礼草太 (Arekusata). 安 means “peace”, 礼 means “courtesy”, 草 means “grass” and 太 means “bold”. Other good options are 愛玲草太 (Arekusata) and 安礼草妥 (Arekusada).

Is 安礼草太 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 安礼草太 is a creative kanji spelling (called ateji), chosen for its sounds and meanings. Japanese readers will understand what each character means, and many will enjoy the idea behind it.

How many strokes is 安礼草太?

安礼草太 has 24 strokes in total (安: 6, 礼: 5, 草: 9, 太: 4). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 安礼草太 as a tattoo?

Each character in 安礼草太 has a positive meaning, so it is a reasonable choice. Keep in mind that Japanese people will read it as the meaning of the characters, not instantly as “Alexandre”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (アレクサンダー) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
