Questions about Ulises in Japanese
How do you write Ulises in Japanese?
Ulises is written ウリセス in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Ulises would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

Our top pick is 宇里世寿 (Urisesu). 宇 means “universe”, 里 means “hometown”, 世 means “world” and 寿 means “long life”. Other good options are 羽里世日 (Urisesu) and 羽梨世寿 (Urisesu).
Is 宇里世寿 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 宇里世寿 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 宇里世寿?
宇里世寿 has 25 strokes in total (宇: 6, 里: 7, 世: 5, 寿: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 宇里世寿 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 “Ulises”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ウリセス) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
