Questions about Lais in Japanese

How do you write Lais in Japanese?

Lais is written ライス in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Lais 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 レイズ (English).

What are the best kanji for Lais?

Our top pick is 良衣寿 (Raisu). 良 means “goodness”, 衣 means “garment” and 寿 means “long life”. Other good options are 来寿 (Raisu) and 来日 (Raisu).

Is 良衣寿 a real Japanese name?

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

良衣寿 has 20 strokes in total (良: 7, 衣: 6, 寿: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 良衣寿 as a tattoo?

Each character in 良衣寿 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 “Lais”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ライス) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
