Our top pick is 英玲依 (Erei). 英 means “brilliance”, 玲 means “chime” and 依 means “rely”. Other good options are 瑛怜 (Erei) and 英玲 (Erei).

Is 英玲依 a real Japanese name?

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

英玲依 has 25 strokes in total (英: 8, 玲: 9, 依: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 英玲依 as a tattoo?

Each character in 英玲依 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 “Elane”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エレイン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
