Puck in Japanese

Puck is written パック in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Puck 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 プック (spelled out).

Our top pick is 葉久 (Haku). 葉 means “leaf” and 久 means “everlasting”. Other good options are 葉玖 (Haku) and 葉空 (Haku).

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

葉久 has 15 strokes in total (葉: 12, 久: 3). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

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