Questions about Audrey in Japanese

How do you write Audrey in Japanese?

Audrey is written オードリー in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Audrey would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

What are the best kanji for Audrey?

Our top pick is 桜登里 (Outori). 桜 means “cherry blossom”, 登 means “ascent” and 里 means “hometown”. Other good options are 穂登里 (Otori) and 桜土里 (Oudori).

Is 桜登里 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 桜登里 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 桜登里?

桜登里 has 29 strokes in total (桜: 10, 登: 12, 里: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 桜登里 as a tattoo?

Each character in 桜登里 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 “Audrey”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (オードリー) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
