Questions about Felix in Japanese
How do you write Felix in Japanese?
Felix is written フェリックス in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Felix would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.
What are the best kanji for Felix?
Our top pick is 平里楠 (Heirikusu). 平 means “peace”, 里 means “hometown” and 楠 means “camphor”. Other good options are 平里久寿 (Heirikusu) and 平里玖珠 (Heirikusu).
Is 平里楠 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 平里楠 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 平里楠?
平里楠 has 25 strokes in total (平: 5, 里: 7, 楠: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 平里楠 as a tattoo?
Each character in 平里楠 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 “Felix”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (フェリックス) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
