Is 愛瑠日 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 愛瑠日 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.

If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (アルフィン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
