Questions about Wulan in Japanese

How do you write Wulan in Japanese?

Wulan is written ウラン in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Wulan would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

What are the best kanji for Wulan?

Our top pick is 羽藍 (Uran). 羽 means “feather” and 藍 means “indigo”. Other good options are 宇藍 (Uran) and 佑藍 (Uran).

Is 羽藍 a real Japanese name?

Yes. 羽藍 is also found in Japan as a girl’s name, read Uran, so it looks natural to Japanese readers. For Wulan, it works as both a real-looking Japanese name and a kanji spelling of your own name.

How many strokes is 羽藍?

羽藍 has 24 strokes in total (羽: 6, 藍: 18). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 羽藍 as a tattoo?

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