What are the best kanji for Lau?

Our top pick is 良羽 (Rau). 良 means “goodness” and 羽 means “feather”. Other good options are 良宇 (Rau) and 良佑 (Rau).

Is 良羽 a real Japanese name?

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

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

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