Questions about Candela in Japanese

How do you write Candela in Japanese?

Candela is written カンデラ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Candela would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag. Depending on the origin of the name, it can also be written キャンデラ (as written in Japan).

Is 寛天良 a real Japanese name?

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

寛天良 has 24 strokes in total (寛: 13, 天: 4, 良: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 寛天良 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 “Candela”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (カンデラ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
