Questions about Raymond in Japanese

How do you write Raymond in Japanese?

Raymond is written レイモンド in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Raymond would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

What are the best kanji for Raymond?

Our top pick is 嶺茂登 (Reimoto). 嶺 means “summit”, 茂 means “lush” and 登 means “ascent”. Other good options are 嶺茂道 (Reimodou) and 鈴茂斗 (Reimoto).

Is 嶺茂登 a real Japanese name?

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

嶺茂登 has 37 strokes in total (嶺: 17, 茂: 8, 登: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 嶺茂登 as a tattoo?

Each character in 嶺茂登 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 “Raymond”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (レイモンド) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
