Questions about Andrey in Japanese

How do you write Andrey in Japanese?

Andrey is written アンドレイ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Andrey 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 アンドリー (English).

Is 杏斗麗 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 杏斗麗 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.

Each character in 杏斗麗 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 “Andrey”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (アンドレイ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
