Questions about Viola in Japanese

How do you write Viola in Japanese?

Viola is written ビオラ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Viola 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 ヴィオラ.

What are the best kanji for Viola?

Our top pick is 美緒良 (Biora). 美 means “beauty”, 緒 means “bond” and 良 means “goodness”. Other good options are 美音楽 (Biora) and 美桜良 (Bioura).

Is 美緒良 a real Japanese name?

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

美緒良 has 30 strokes in total (美: 9, 緒: 14, 良: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 美緒良 as a tattoo?

Each character in 美緒良 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 “Viola”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ビオラ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.

Planning a tattoo or a print? Read the kanji tattoo checklist, and check the kanji in the name tool. Not sure which script to use? See katakana or kanji.
