Questions about Indri in Japanese

How do you write Indri in Japanese?

Indri is written インドリ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Indri 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 インドリー (English).

Our top pick is 衣斗里 (Itori). 衣 means “garment”, 斗 means “big dipper” and 里 means “hometown”. Other good options are 唯登里 (Itori) and 唯土里 (Idori).

Is 衣斗里 a real Japanese name?

Each character in 衣斗里 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 “Indri”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (インドリ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
