What are the best kanji for Roby?

Our top pick is 路美 (Robi). 路 means “path” and 美 means “beauty”. Other good options are 路琵 (Robi) and 路備 (Robi).

Is 路美 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 路美 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Romi rather than Robi. As a spelling of Roby, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 路美?

路美 has 22 strokes in total (路: 13, 美: 9). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

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