Wlodzimierz in Japanese

Wlodzimierz is written ウォジミエシ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Wlodzimierz 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 ウロドジマーズ (spelled out).

Our top pick is 雄二実栄詩 (Ojimieshi). 雄 means “heroic”, 二 means “two”, 実 means “fruit”, 栄 means “prosperity” and 詩 means “poem”. Other good options are 雄二実栄詞 (Ojimieishi) and 雄二実英詞 (Ojimieshi).

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 雄二実栄詩 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.

雄二実栄詩 has 44 strokes in total (雄: 12, 二: 2, 実: 8, 栄: 9, 詩: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 雄二実栄詩 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 “Wlodzimierz”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ウォジミエシ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
