Questions about Nataly in Japanese

How do you write Nataly in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Nataly?

Our top pick is 南多里 (Natari). 南 means “south”, 多 means “many” and 里 means “hometown”. Other good options are 和太莉 (Natari) and 南太理 (Natari).

Is 南多里 a real Japanese name?

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

南多里 has 22 strokes in total (南: 9, 多: 6, 里: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 南多里 as a tattoo?

Each character in 南多里 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 “Nataly”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ナタリ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
