Questions about Cyrille in Japanese

How do you write Cyrille in Japanese?

Cyrille is written シリル in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Cyrille 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 シリレ (spelled out).

What are the best kanji for Cyrille?

Our top pick is 詩里瑠 (Shiriru). 詩 means “poem”, 里 means “hometown” and 瑠 means “lapis lazuli”. Other good options are 詞理瑠 (Shiriru) and 詩理琉 (Shiriru).

Is 詩里瑠 a real Japanese name?

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

詩里瑠 has 34 strokes in total (詩: 13, 里: 7, 瑠: 14). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 詩里瑠 as a tattoo?

Each character in 詩里瑠 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 “Cyrille”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (シリル) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
