Questions about Jacqueline in Japanese

How do you write Jacqueline in Japanese?

Jacqueline is written ジャクリーン in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Jacqueline would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

What are the best kanji for Jacqueline?

Our top pick is 路久里 (Jikuri). 路 means “path”, 久 means “everlasting” and 里 means “hometown”. Other good options are 慈久理 (Jikuri) and 路玖璃 (Jikuri).

Is 路久里 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 路久里 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 路久里?

路久里 has 23 strokes in total (路: 13, 久: 3, 里: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 路久里 as a tattoo?

Each character in 路久里 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 “Jacqueline”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ジャクリーン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
