Dragan in Japanese

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

Our top pick is 道良雅 (Douraga). 道 means “the way”, 良 means “goodness” and 雅 means “refinement”. Other good options are 道楽画 (Douraga) and 道良願 (Douragan).

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 道良雅 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.

道良雅 has 32 strokes in total (道: 12, 良: 7, 雅: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 道良雅 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 “Dragan”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ドラガン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
