Questions about Ravi in Japanese

How do you write Ravi in Japanese?

Ravi is written ラビー in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Ravi 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 ラビ (as written in Japan).

What are the best kanji for Ravi?

Our top pick is 良美 (Rabi). 良 means “goodness” and 美 means “beauty”. Other good options are 良琵 (Rabi) and 良備 (Rabi).

Is 良美 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 良美 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Kazumi and Nagami rather than Rabi. As a spelling of Ravi, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 良美?

良美 has 16 strokes in total (良: 7, 美: 9). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 良美 as a tattoo?

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