Questions about Wulan in Japanese

How do you write Wulan in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Wulan?

Our top pick is 宇良 (Ura). 宇 means “universe” and 良 means “goodness”. Other good options are 羽良 (Ura) and 宇蘭 (Uran).

Is 宇良 a real Japanese name?

Yes. 宇良 is also found in Japan as a girl’s name, read Ura, so it looks natural to Japanese readers. For Wulan, it works as both a real-looking Japanese name and a kanji spelling of your own name.

How many strokes is 宇良?

宇良 has 13 strokes in total (宇: 6, 良: 7). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 宇良 as a tattoo?

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