Questions about Bree in Japanese

How do you write Bree in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Bree?

Our top pick is 舞里 (Buri). 舞 means “dance” and 里 means “hometown”. Other good options are 舞莉 (Buri) and 武里 (Buri).

Is 舞里 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 舞里 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Mairi and Mari rather than Buri. As a spelling of Bree, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 舞里?

舞里 has 22 strokes in total (舞: 15, 里: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 舞里 as a tattoo?

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

Planning a tattoo or a print? Read the kanji tattoo checklist, and check the kanji in the name tool. Not sure which script to use? See katakana or kanji.
