Questions about Garry in Japanese

How do you write Garry in Japanese?

Garry is written ゲーリー in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Garry would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag. Depending on the origin of the name, it can also be written ゲイリー.

What are the best kanji for Garry?

Our top pick is 華理 (Geri). 華 means “splendor” and 理 means “reason”. Other good options are 華里 (Geri) and 華麗 (Geri).

Is 華理 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 華理 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Kari rather than Geri. As a spelling of Garry, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 華理?

華理 has 21 strokes in total (華: 10, 理: 11). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 華理 as a tattoo?

Each character in 華理 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 “Garry”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ゲーリー) 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.
