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

What are the best kanji for Lula?

Our top pick is 瑠楽 (Rura). 瑠 means “lapis lazuli” and 楽 means “joy”. Other good options are 琉楽 (Rura) and 瑠良 (Rura).

Is 瑠楽 a real Japanese name?

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

瑠楽 has 27 strokes in total (瑠: 14, 楽: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 瑠楽 as a tattoo?

Each character in 瑠楽 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 “Lula”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ルーラ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
