Questions about Sol in Japanese

How do you write Sol in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Sol?

Our top pick is 蘇琉 (Soru). 蘇 means “revival” and 琉 means “lapis lazuli”. Other good options are 蘇瑠 (Soru) and 蒼琉 (Souru).

Is 蘇琉 a real Japanese name?

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

蘇琉 has 30 strokes in total (蘇: 19, 琉: 11). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 蘇琉 as a tattoo?

Each character in 蘇琉 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 “Sol”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ソル) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
