Questions about Alicia in Japanese
How do you write Alicia in Japanese?
Alicia is written アリシア in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Alicia would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.
What are the best kanji for Alicia?
Our top pick is 有詩愛 (Arishia). 有 means “have”, 詩 means “poem” and 愛 means “love”. Other good options are 安里詩愛 (Arishia) and 亜梨詩愛 (Arishia).
Is 有詩愛 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 有詩愛 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 有詩愛?
有詩愛 has 32 strokes in total (有: 6, 詩: 13, 愛: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 有詩愛 as a tattoo?
Each character in 有詩愛 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 “Alicia”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (アリシア) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
