Questions about Laurel in Japanese

How do you write Laurel in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Laurel?

Our top pick is 路礼瑠 (Roreru). 路 means “path”, 礼 means “courtesy” and 瑠 means “lapis lazuli”. Other good options are 路玲琉 (Roreru) and 路麗琉 (Roreiru).

Is 路礼瑠 a real Japanese name?

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

路礼瑠 has 32 strokes in total (路: 13, 礼: 5, 瑠: 14). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 路礼瑠 as a tattoo?

Each character in 路礼瑠 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 “Laurel”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ロレル) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
