Questions about Rigo in Japanese

How do you write Rigo in Japanese?

Rigo is written リゴ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Rigo 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 リーゴ (English).

What are the best kanji for Rigo?

Our top pick is 里悟 (Rigo). 里 means “hometown” and 悟 means “enlightenment”. Other good options are 里護 (Rigo) and 里五 (Rigo).

Is 里悟 a real Japanese name?

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

里悟 has 17 strokes in total (里: 7, 悟: 10). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 里悟 as a tattoo?

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