Questions about Willis in Japanese

How do you write Willis in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Willis?

Our top pick is 唯里寿 (Irisu). 唯 means “the only one”, 里 means “hometown” and 寿 means “long life”. Other good options are 依梨寿 (Irisu) and 唯璃珠 (Irisu).

Is 唯里寿 a real Japanese name?

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

唯里寿 has 25 strokes in total (唯: 11, 里: 7, 寿: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 唯里寿 as a tattoo?

Each character in 唯里寿 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 “Willis”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ウィリス) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
