Sture in Japanese

Sture is written ストゥーレ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Sture 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 スター (spelled out).

Our top pick is 寿音礼 (Sutore). 寿 means “long life”, 音 means “sound” and 礼 means “courtesy”. Other good options are 寿富怜 (Sutore) and 澄音怜 (Sutore).

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 寿音礼 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.

寿音礼 has 21 strokes in total (寿: 7, 音: 9, 礼: 5). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 寿音礼 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 “Sture”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ストゥーレ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
