Questions about Orville in Japanese

How do you write Orville in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Orville?

Our top pick is 桜美瑠 (Oubiru). 桜 means “cherry blossom”, 美 means “beauty” and 瑠 means “lapis lazuli”. Other good options are 央美瑠 (Obiru) and 桜日琉 (Ouhiru).

Is 桜美瑠 a real Japanese name?

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

桜美瑠 has 33 strokes in total (桜: 10, 美: 9, 瑠: 14). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 桜美瑠 as a tattoo?

Each character in 桜美瑠 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 “Orville”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (オービル) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
