Avery in Japanese

Avery is written エイブリー in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Avery would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

Our top pick is 栄風里 (Eifuri). 栄 means “prosperity”, 風 means “wind” and 里 means “hometown”. Other good options are 栄歩里 (Eiburi) and 永歩里 (Eifuri).

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 栄風里 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.

栄風里 has 25 strokes in total (栄: 9, 風: 9, 里: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 栄風里 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 “Avery”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エイブリー) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
