Questions about Solomon in Japanese

How do you write Solomon in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Solomon?

Our top pick is 蘇路茂 (Soromo). 蘇 means “revival”, 路 means “path” and 茂 means “lush”. Other good options are 蒼路茂 (Souromo) and 蘇路紋 (Soromon).

Is 蘇路茂 a real Japanese name?

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

蘇路茂 has 40 strokes in total (蘇: 19, 路: 13, 茂: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 蘇路茂 as a tattoo?

Each character in 蘇路茂 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 “Solomon”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ソロモン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
