Questions about Woodrow in Japanese

How do you write Woodrow in Japanese?

Woodrow is written ウッドロウ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Woodrow 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 ウッドロー.

Our top pick is 宇斗朗 (Utorou). 宇 means “universe”, 斗 means “big dipper” and 朗 means “cheer”. Other good options are 宇土朗 (Udorou) and 羽藤朗 (Utorou).

Is 宇斗朗 a real Japanese name?

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

宇斗朗 has 20 strokes in total (宇: 6, 斗: 4, 朗: 10). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 宇斗朗 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 “Woodrow”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ウッドロウ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
