Questions about Lothar in Japanese

How do you write Lothar in Japanese?

Lothar is written ロタル in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Lothar 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 ロタール (as written in Japan).

Is 路楽瑠 a real Japanese name?
