Lorella in Japanese

Lorella is written ロレラ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Lorella 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 ロレッラ (as written in Japan).

Our top pick is 路礼良 (Rorera). 路 means “path”, 礼 means “courtesy” and 良 means “goodness”. Other good options are 路怜楽 (Rorera) and 路怜良 (Roreira).

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

路礼良 has 25 strokes in total (路: 13, 礼: 5, 良: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 路礼良 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 “Lorella”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ロレラ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
