Questions about Rubens in Japanese

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

Is 瑠勉澄 a real Japanese name?

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

瑠勉澄 has 39 strokes in total (瑠: 14, 勉: 10, 澄: 15). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 瑠勉澄 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 “Rubens”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ルベンス) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
