Questions about Reginald in Japanese

How do you write Reginald in Japanese?

Reginald is written レジナルド in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Reginald would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

What are the best kanji for Reginald?

Our top pick is 礼志生道 (Reshinarudou). 礼 means “courtesy”, 志 means “aspiration”, 生 means “life” and 道 means “the way”. Other good options are 礼志生斗 (Reshinaruto) and 礼志生土 (Reshinarudo).

Is 礼志生道 a real Japanese name?

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

礼志生道 has 29 strokes in total (礼: 5, 志: 7, 生: 5, 道: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 礼志生道 as a tattoo?

Each character in 礼志生道 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 “Reginald”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (レジナルド) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
