Yuli in Japanese

Yuli is written ユリ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Yuli 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 ユーリー (English).

Our top pick is 夢里 (Yuri). 夢 means “dream” and 里 means “hometown”. Other good options are 夢理 (Yuri) and 愉里 (Yuri).

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

夢里 has 20 strokes in total (夢: 13, 里: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

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