Questions about Erick in Japanese

How do you write Erick in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Erick?

Our top pick is 永里空 (Eriku). 永 means “eternity”, 里 means “hometown” and 空 means “sky”. Other good options are 栄理空 (Eriku) and 栄里玖 (Eriku).

Is 永里空 a real Japanese name?

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

永里空 has 20 strokes in total (永: 5, 里: 7, 空: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 永里空 as a tattoo?

Each character in 永里空 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 “Erick”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エリック) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
