Kram in Japanese

Kram is written クラム in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Kram 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 クラーム (as written in Japan).

Our top pick is 久良夢 (Kuramu). 久 means “everlasting”, 良 means “goodness” and 夢 means “dream”. Other good options are 久楽睦 (Kuramu) and 玖良睦 (Kuramu).

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 久良夢 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.

久良夢 has 23 strokes in total (久: 3, 良: 7, 夢: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 久良夢 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 “Kram”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (クラム) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
