Questions about Perry in Japanese

How do you write Perry in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Perry?

Our top pick is 平梨 (Heiri). 平 means “peace” and 梨 means “pear blossom”. Other good options are 平璃 (Heiri) and 平里 (Heiri).

Is 平梨 a real Japanese name?

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

平梨 has 16 strokes in total (平: 5, 梨: 11). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 平梨 as a tattoo?

Each character in 平梨 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 “Perry”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ペリー) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
