Questions about Hernando in Japanese

How do you write Hernando in Japanese?

Hernando is written エルナンド in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Hernando 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 ハーナンド (English).

Is 英瑠奈斗 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 英瑠奈斗 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 英瑠奈斗?

英瑠奈斗 has 34 strokes in total (英: 8, 瑠: 14, 奈: 8, 斗: 4). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 英瑠奈斗 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 “Hernando”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エルナンド) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
