What are the best kanji for Herwig?
Our top pick is 平瑠美玖 (Heirubiku). 平 means “peace”, 瑠 means “lapis lazuli”, 美 means “beauty” and 玖 means “black jade”. Other good options are 平琉美久 (Heirubiku) and 兵瑠美玖 (Herubiku).
Is 平瑠美玖 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 平瑠美玖 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 平瑠美玖?
平瑠美玖 has 35 strokes in total (平: 5, 瑠: 14, 美: 9, 玖: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 平瑠美玖 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 “Herwig”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ヘルビグ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
