Questions about Puri in Japanese

How do you write Puri in Japanese?

Puri is written プリ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Puri 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 プリー (English).

What are the best kanji for Puri?

Our top pick is 風里 (Furi). 風 means “wind” and 里 means “hometown”. Other good options are 風梨 (Furi) and 風麗 (Furi).

Is 風里 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 風里 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Fuuri rather than Furi. As a spelling of Puri, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 風里?

風里 has 16 strokes in total (風: 9, 里: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 風里 as a tattoo?

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