Questions about Lucien in Japanese
How do you write Lucien in Japanese?
Lucien is written ルシアン in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Lucien 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 リュシアン.
What are the best kanji for Lucien?
Our top pick is 瑠詩杏 (Rushian). 瑠 means “lapis lazuli”, 詩 means “poem” and 杏 means “apricot”. Other good options are 瑠詩愛 (Rushia) and 琉志杏 (Rushian).
Is 瑠詩杏 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 瑠詩杏 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 瑠詩杏?
瑠詩杏 has 34 strokes in total (瑠: 14, 詩: 13, 杏: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 瑠詩杏 as a tattoo?
Each character in 瑠詩杏 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 “Lucien”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ルシアン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
