Questions about Loan in Japanese

How do you write Loan in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Loan?

Our top pick is 朗 (Rou). 朗 means “cheer”. Other good options are 路 (Ro) and 狼 (Rou).

Is 朗 a real Japanese name?

Yes. 朗 is also found in Japan as a given name, read Rou, so it looks natural to Japanese readers. For Loan, it works as both a real-looking Japanese name and a kanji spelling of your own name.

How many strokes is 朗?

Can I use 朗 as a tattoo?

Each character in 朗 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 “Loan”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ローン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
