Mitra in Japanese

Mitra is written マイトラ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Mitra 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 ミトラ (as written in Japan).

Our top pick is 舞音良 (Maitora). 舞 means “dance”, 音 means “sound” and 良 means “goodness”. Other good options are 舞富楽 (Maitora) and 真糸良 (Maitora).

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 舞音良 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.

舞音良 has 31 strokes in total (舞: 15, 音: 9, 良: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 舞音良 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 “Mitra”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (マイトラ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
