Questions about Urban in Japanese

How do you write Urban in Japanese?

Urban is written ウルバン in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Urban 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 アーバン (English).

What are the best kanji for Urban?

Our top pick is 潤羽 (Uruba). 潤 means “moisture” and 羽 means “feather”. Other good options are 宇瑠羽 (Uruba) and 羽瑠万 (Uruban).

Is 潤羽 a real Japanese name?

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

潤羽 has 21 strokes in total (潤: 15, 羽: 6). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 潤羽 as a tattoo?

Each character in 潤羽 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 “Urban”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ウルバン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
