Guglielmo in Japanese

Guglielmo is written グリェルモ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Guglielmo 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 グリエルモ (as written in Japan) and ググリエルモ (English).

Our top pick is 宮礼瑠茂 (Gurerumo). 宮 means “shrine”, 礼 means “courtesy”, 瑠 means “lapis lazuli” and 茂 means “lush”. Other good options are 宮怜瑠百 (Gurerumo) and 求礼瑠百 (Gurerumo).

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 宮礼瑠茂 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.

宮礼瑠茂 has 37 strokes in total (宮: 10, 礼: 5, 瑠: 14, 茂: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 宮礼瑠茂 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 “Guglielmo”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (グリェルモ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
