Questions about Nara in Japanese

How do you write Nara in Japanese?

Nara is written ナラ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Nara would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

What are the best kanji for Nara?

Our top pick is 七良 (Nara). 七 means “seven” and 良 means “goodness”. Other good options are 七楽 (Nara) and 南良 (Nara).

Is 七良 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 七良 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Shichiryou and Shichirou rather than Nara. As a spelling of Nara, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 七良?

七良 has 9 strokes in total (七: 2, 良: 7). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 七良 as a tattoo?

Each character in 七良 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 “Nara”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ナラ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
