Questions about Reiner in Japanese

How do you write Reiner in Japanese?

Reiner is written ライネル in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Reiner 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 レイネル (as written in Japan) and ライナー (as written in Japan).

What are the best kanji for Reiner?

Our top pick is 来音琉 (Raineru). 来 means “coming”, 音 means “sound” and 琉 means “lapis lazuli”. Other good options are 雷音瑠 (Raineru) and 来嶺瑠 (Raineru).

Is 来音琉 a real Japanese name?

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

来音琉 has 27 strokes in total (来: 7, 音: 9, 琉: 11). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 来音琉 as a tattoo?

Each character in 来音琉 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 “Reiner”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ライネル) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
