Questions about Larry in Japanese

How do you write Larry in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Larry?

Our top pick is 良里 (Rari). 良 means “goodness” and 里 means “hometown”. Other good options are 良梨 (Rari) and 良麗 (Rari).

Is 良里 a real Japanese name?

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

良里 has 14 strokes in total (良: 7, 里: 7). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 良里 as a tattoo?

Each character in 良里 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 “Larry”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ラリー) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.

Planning a tattoo or a print? Read the kanji tattoo checklist, and check the kanji in the name tool. Not sure which script to use? See katakana or kanji.
