Questions about Narayan in Japanese

How do you write Narayan in Japanese?

Narayan is written ナラヤン in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Narayan 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 ナレイアン (spelled out).

What are the best kanji for Narayan?

Our top pick is 七良弥 (Naraya). 七 means “seven”, 良 means “goodness” and 弥 means “ever more”. Other good options are 七楽八 (Naraya) and 南良八 (Naraya).

Is 七良弥 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 七良弥 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.

How many strokes is 七良弥?

七良弥 has 17 strokes in total (七: 2, 良: 7, 弥: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 七良弥 as a tattoo?

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