Questions about Vera in Japanese

How do you write Vera in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Vera?

Our top pick is 平良 (Heira). 平 means “peace” and 良 means “goodness”. Other good options are 平楽 (Heira) and 平蘭 (Heira).

Is 平良 a real Japanese name?

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

平良 has 12 strokes in total (平: 5, 良: 7). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 平良 as a tattoo?

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