Questions about Laurent in Japanese

How do you write Laurent in Japanese?

Laurent is written ロラン in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Laurent 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 ロレント (English) and ローレント (spelled out).

What are the best kanji for Laurent?

Our top pick is 路藍 (Roran). 路 means “path” and 藍 means “indigo”. Other good options are 路良 (Rora) and 路楽 (Rora).

Is 路藍 a real Japanese name?

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

路藍 has 31 strokes in total (路: 13, 藍: 18). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 路藍 as a tattoo?

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