Questions about Rolan in Japanese

How do you write Rolan in Japanese?

Rolan is written ローラン in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Rolan 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 ロラン (spelled out).

What are the best kanji for Rolan?

Our top pick is 路藍 (Roran). 路 means “path” and 藍 means “indigo”. Other good options are 良藍 (Rouran) and 路良 (Rora).

Is 路藍 a real Japanese name?

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

路藍 has 31 strokes in total (路: 13, 藍: 18). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 路藍 as a tattoo?

Each character in 路藍 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 “Rolan”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ローラン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
