Questions about Alla in Japanese
How do you write Alla in Japanese?
Alla is written アラ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Alla would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.
What are the best kanji for Alla?
Our top pick is 愛良 (Ara). 愛 means “love” and 良 means “goodness”. Other good options are 愛楽 (Ara) and 安楽 (Ara).
Is 愛良 a real Japanese name?
Partly. The characters 愛良 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Aira rather than Ara. As a spelling of Alla, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.
How many strokes is 愛良?
愛良 has 20 strokes in total (愛: 13, 良: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 愛良 as a tattoo?
Each character in 愛良 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 “Alla”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (アラ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
