Questions about Raija in Japanese

How do you write Raija in Japanese?

Raija is written ライヤ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Raija 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 レイジャ (spelled out).

Is 良生弥 a real Japanese name?

良生弥 has 20 strokes in total (良: 7, 生: 5, 弥: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 良生弥 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 “Raija”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ライヤ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
