Martti in Japanese

Martti is written マルッティ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Martti 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 マーッティ (spelled out).

Our top pick is 真瑠照 (Marute). 真 means “truth”, 瑠 means “lapis lazuli” and 照 means “shine”. Other good options are 満琉照 (Marute) and 正留照 (Marute).

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

真瑠照 has 37 strokes in total (真: 10, 瑠: 14, 照: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 真瑠照 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 “Martti”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (マルッティ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
