Ursi in Japanese

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

Our top pick is 羽瑠詩 (Urushi). 羽 means “feather”, 瑠 means “lapis lazuli” and 詩 means “poem”. Other good options are 羽留詞 (Urushi) and 潤詩 (Urushi).

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 羽瑠詩 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.

羽瑠詩 has 33 strokes in total (羽: 6, 瑠: 14, 詩: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 羽瑠詩 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 “Ursi”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ウルシ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
