Miller in Japanese

Miller is written ミジェル in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Miller 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 ミレール (as written in Japan) and ミレル (as written in Japan).

Our top pick is 実慈得 (Mijieru). 実 means “fruit”, 慈 means “compassion” and 得 means “reward”. Other good options are 海路得 (Mijieru) and 望侍得 (Mijieru).

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

実慈得 has 32 strokes in total (実: 8, 慈: 13, 得: 11). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 実慈得 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 “Miller”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ミジェル) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
