Questions about Rehan in Japanese

How do you write Rehan in Japanese?

Rehan is written レーアン in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Rehan 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 レアン (spelled out).

What are the best kanji for Rehan?

Our top pick is 麗愛 (Reia). 麗 means “elegance” and 愛 means “love”. Other good options are 麗杏 (Reian) and 怜愛 (Reia).

Is 麗愛 a real Japanese name?

Yes. 麗愛 is also found in Japan as a girl’s name, read Reia, so it looks natural to Japanese readers. For Rehan, it works as both a real-looking Japanese name and a kanji spelling of your own name.

How many strokes is 麗愛?

麗愛 has 32 strokes in total (麗: 19, 愛: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 麗愛 as a tattoo?

Each character in 麗愛 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 “Rehan”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (レーアン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
