Georges in Japanese

Georges is written ジョルジュ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Georges 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 ジョージェズ (English) and ジェオージェス (spelled out).

Our top pick is 恕瑠樹 (Joruju). 恕 means “forgiveness”, 瑠 means “lapis lazuli” and 樹 means “tree”. Other good options are 恕留寿 (Joruju) and 穣瑠寿 (Jouruju).

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 恕瑠樹 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.

恕瑠樹 has 40 strokes in total (恕: 10, 瑠: 14, 樹: 16). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 恕瑠樹 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 “Georges”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ジョルジュ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
