Questions about Reidar in Japanese

How do you write Reidar in Japanese?

Reidar is written レイダル in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Reidar 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 リーダー (spelled out).

Is 嶺太琉 a real Japanese name?

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

嶺太琉 has 32 strokes in total (嶺: 17, 太: 4, 琉: 11). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 嶺太琉 as a tattoo?

Each character in 嶺太琉 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 “Reidar”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (レイダル) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
