Questions about Corliss in Japanese

How do you write Corliss in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Corliss?

Our top pick is 湖里寿 (Korisu). 湖 means “lake”, 里 means “hometown” and 寿 means “long life”. Other good options are 虹里寿 (Kourisu) and 光理寿 (Kourisu).

Is 湖里寿 a real Japanese name?

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

湖里寿 has 26 strokes in total (湖: 12, 里: 7, 寿: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 湖里寿 as a tattoo?

Each character in 湖里寿 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 “Corliss”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (コーリス) 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.
