Questions about Romana in Japanese

How do you write Romana in Japanese?

Romana is written ロマナ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Romana would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

What are the best kanji for Romana?

Our top pick is 路真奈 (Romana). 路 means “path”, 真 means “truth” and 奈 means “nara”. Other good options are 路茉南 (Romana) and 路満菜 (Romana).

Is 路真奈 a real Japanese name?

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

路真奈 has 31 strokes in total (路: 13, 真: 10, 奈: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 路真奈 as a tattoo?

Each character in 路真奈 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 “Romana”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ロマナ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
