Questions about Bill in Japanese

How do you write Bill in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Bill?

Our top pick is 美瑠 (Biru). 美 means “beauty” and 瑠 means “lapis lazuli”. Other good options are 微瑠 (Biru) and 美留 (Biru).

Is 美瑠 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 美瑠 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Miru and Mirun rather than Biru. As a spelling of Bill, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 美瑠?

美瑠 has 23 strokes in total (美: 9, 瑠: 14). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 美瑠 as a tattoo?

Each character in 美瑠 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 “Bill”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ビル) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
