Questions about Romeo in Japanese

How do you write Romeo in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Romeo?

Our top pick is 路美緒 (Romio). 路 means “path”, 美 means “beauty” and 緒 means “bond”. Other good options are 路実央 (Romio) and 呂美央 (Romio).

Is 路美緒 a real Japanese name?

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

路美緒 has 36 strokes in total (路: 13, 美: 9, 緒: 14). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 路美緒 as a tattoo?

Each character in 路美緒 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 “Romeo”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ロミオ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.

Planning a tattoo or a print? Read the kanji tattoo checklist, and check the kanji in the name tool. Not sure which script to use? See katakana or kanji.
