How do you write Pia in Japanese?
Pia is written ピア in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Pia would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

Our top pick is 陽愛 (Hia). 陽 means “sunlight” and 愛 means “love”. Other good options are 日愛 (Hia) and 日歩 (Hia).
Is 陽愛 a real Japanese name?
Partly. The characters 陽愛 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Harua and Harue rather than Hia. As a spelling of Pia, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.
How many strokes is 陽愛?
陽愛 has 25 strokes in total (陽: 12, 愛: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

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