Our top pick is 杏登 (Anto). 杏 means “apricot” and 登 means “ascent”. Other good options are 杏桐 (Antou) and 杏斗 (Anto).

Is 杏登 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 杏登 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 杏登 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 “Anton”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (アントン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
