Questions about Mireille in Japanese

How do you write Mireille in Japanese?

Mireille is written ミレーユ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Mireille 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 ミリーレ (spelled out).

What are the best kanji for Mireille?

Our top pick is 実礼優 (Mireyu). 実 means “fruit”, 礼 means “courtesy” and 優 means “gentleness”. Other good options are 実礼夕 (Mireiyu) and 実麗優 (Mireiyu).

Is 実礼優 a real Japanese name?

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

実礼優 has 30 strokes in total (実: 8, 礼: 5, 優: 17). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 実礼優 as a tattoo?

Each character in 実礼優 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 “Mireille”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ミレーユ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
