Questions about Clinton in Japanese

How do you write Clinton in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Clinton?

Our top pick is 久里登 (Kurito). 久 means “everlasting”, 里 means “hometown” and 登 means “ascent”. Other good options are 久鈴登 (Kurinto) and 久里灯 (Kuritou).

Is 久里登 a real Japanese name?

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

久里登 has 22 strokes in total (久: 3, 里: 7, 登: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 久里登 as a tattoo?

Each character in 久里登 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 “Clinton”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (クリントン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
