Questions about Thierry in Japanese

How do you write Thierry in Japanese?

Thierry is written ティエリー in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Thierry would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag. Depending on the origin of the name, it can also be written セリー (English) and シーリー (spelled out).

What are the best kanji for Thierry?

Our top pick is 天恵里 (Teeri). 天 means “heaven”, 恵 means “blessing” and 里 means “hometown”. Other good options are 悌恵里 (Teieri) and 定英里 (Teieri).

Is 天恵里 a real Japanese name?

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

天恵里 has 21 strokes in total (天: 4, 恵: 10, 里: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 天恵里 as a tattoo?

Each character in 天恵里 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 “Thierry”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ティエリー) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
