Questions about Lizzie in Japanese

How do you write Lizzie in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Lizzie?

Our top pick is 里路 (Riji). 里 means “hometown” and 路 means “path”. Other good options are 里慈 (Riji) and 璃路 (Riji).

Is 里路 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 里路 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Satomichi rather than Riji. As a spelling of Lizzie, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 里路?

里路 has 20 strokes in total (里: 7, 路: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 里路 as a tattoo?

Each character in 里路 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 “Lizzie”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (リジー) 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.
