Ah, finding out your Japanese name is magical, isn’t it?
It’s the rite of passage for any new learner.

…Ah, screw it.
I’ll show you anyway. (But you should really learn Katakana here.)

If I don’t have yours, leave a comment below and I will add it!
So, hopefully I got your Japanese name in there. Now, you can start speaking basic Japanese and go introduce yourself as…
-
- Hajimemashite, watashi no namae wa (name) desu.
- はじめまして。私の名前は(name)です。
- Nice to meet you. My name is (name).
Or you can just say the more casual way.
-
- (name) desu.
- (name)です。
- I’m (name).
If you got your name right, be sure to leave a comment and introduce yourself. If I missed your name, also leave a comment and we’ll get one for you! And now that you know your name and can introduce yourself, you should learn even more Japanese!
What is my name in Japanese? How to translate your name.
First, there are 9 rules that you need to know about finding out your Japanese name.
Don’t worry, they’re not scary. You’ll be fine after reading them.
And if you’re still confused, just leave a comment.
Or… proceed to the list below if now you’re feeling lazy.
- It must be written in Katakana as it’s a foreign name. Katakana is merely a version of the Japanese alphabet dedicated to foreign words that were adopted by Japanese.
- The spelling WILL depend on how you pronounce your name. Let’s say you have an uncommon name that may not sound how its spelled. For example, your name is Böb but it’s not pronounced as “Bob” but “Beaub.” Well, if you want most of your desired pronunciation to cross over into Japanese, you will need to go by sounds or phonetics. So, you won’t be a “Bobu ボブ” but perhaps “バーブ.”
- If you check the comments where people ask about their names, often the first question is… “well, how do you pronounce that?”
- There is no L. L becomes R. Sorry Larry, Linda, and Luke. Your names will start with the letter R from now on. There’s no L in the Japanese language and Japanese R is pretty unique, similar to the Russian/Spanish/Italian R where you slightly roll your tongue. So Larry, you are pretty much Rarry.
- There is no V. V becomes B. Sorry Vicky, you’re now Bikki.
- The Japanese Alphabet follows the this sound pattern. You’ll get a good idea of it after taking a look at the character chart below.
- Pronunciation: Ah (written as A)
- Pronunciation: Ee (written as I)
- Pronunciation: Oo (written as U)
- Pronunciation: Eh (Written as E)
- Pronunciation: Oh (Written as O)
- So, of course, there will be “ka, ki, ku, ke, ko” and “sa, shi, su, se, so” and so on.
- Most Japanese letters actually consist if 1 consonant and 1 vowel OR just 1 vowel.
- So, “Ka” is considered as one letter. So is “A.” And “De.”
- What does this mean? It means 2 things. If you have…
- Two consecutive consonants in your name like “Fr” in Fred or “Gl” in Glen, those two will now have vowels after the consonants. So, the Fr in Fred becomes “Fure” and the Gl in Glen becomes “Gure.”
- Rule: In two consecutive consonants, the first one follows an “U” sound. The second one will follow the vowel that’s already in your name.
- Or if your name ends in a consonant, like “D” in Ted, then that last consonant is doubled up and ends in an O or U. Ted actually becomes Teddo. Fred becomes Fureddo.
- This rule does not apply to names ending in “N.” N in Japanese is the only consonant can be counted as 1 letter. So, our friend Glen is Guren.
- This rule does not apply to names ending in “Y.” So, Ray becomes Rei. The letter I (イ) acts as that “iy” sound.
- Names ending in K, M or X take on the “U” ending. Jim is Jimu. Hank is Hanku. Sam is Samu. Max is Makkusu. Mark is Ma-ku.
- Two consecutive consonants in your name like “Fr” in Fred or “Gl” in Glen, those two will now have vowels after the consonants. So, the Fr in Fred becomes “Fure” and the Gl in Glen becomes “Gure.”
- Japanese letters are pronounced with equal stress and time, unless noted by an elongation. Take the word “camera.” In English, camera is pronounced as “Caaamura,” right? There’s quite a bit of stress on the “Caaaaa.” In Japanese however, it is ka-me-ra where each letter, ka, me and ra, are said for equal amounts of time. This will help you understand rule #7 below.
- If a vowel in your name sounds like it receives stress, it will be an elongated vowel in Japanese. What do I mean? Take the name “Mary” or “Gary” for example. There’s quite a bit of emphasis on the letter A. It almost sounds like it’s pronounced as “Maaary” where the inflection on the A goes up. Same with Gary. In Japanese, these will become “Me-ri” and “Ge-ri”
- The Ya, Yu, Yo Sounds. Basically, any I sound, like Ki, Gi, Mi, Ji etc. can be combined with the Ya, Yu, Yo letters of a smaller version to produce sounds like…
- Gi: Gya, Gyu, Gyo
- Ji: Ja, Ju, Jo
- Ri: Rya, Ryu, Ryo
- And so, on. You’ll see more of these in the chart below.
Conclusion
Ok, now you’re ready to learn your Japanese name.
Below is a chart of the Katakana letters, providing you with the English first, Japanese character underneath, to help you find the character for your name. Here’s how you figure out your name:
-
- Step 1: Refer to rule #4 for the proper pronunciation of A, I, U, E, O.
- Step 2: If your name starts with a consonant and vowel, look for the ones that match you.
- Mary will start with “Me-” or メー
- Kevin will start with “Ke” or ケ
- Or similary, if your name starts with a vowel, chose A, I, U, E, or O, depending on how your name sounds.
- Step 3: Then piece your name together. Look for the next sound.
- Mary will start with “Me-” or メー, and then we need “Ri” so find that character, リ, and add it in: メーリ
- Kevin will start with “Ke” or ケ, and then we need “Bi” (remember no V in Japanese) and “N.” So, find “Bi” and “N” and you have “Kebin” or ケビン.
- Step 4: Feeling lazy? Scroll down below this chart where I’ve translated common English names into Japanese.

Hi, my name is Arielle and I’m kind of confused how to translate it.
Ok so my given name is Derek so that would be Derekku according to your list. But my surname is Ruehl (pronounced: real). Would it just be Riro?
If it’s pronounced as real, there’s an elongated “ee” sound between the two R’s so it’d be リール (ri-ru)
Hajimemashite, watashi no namae wa Esutaa desu
I cant write my name can you please tell me how to write my name
it is “Dhanraj”
How would the name Jadyn be pronounced and written out in Japanese? thank you!
Assuming your name is pronounced as “Jay-din,” it would be ジェイヂィン (Jei-din)
What is nicholai in Japanese
Please add my name “Aarlyn”
I don’t get it I just want to translate my name. Btw my name is Hans I will really appreciate it if u will translate it for me
My name in Japanese in “BIROGINI-A as Virginia..,,am i right?
Close! Would be Birujini-a. BUT… In the case of R before a consonant, the R can take on the vowel before. Like Mark is Maaku. You can go with バージニア (Ba-jinia) or ビージニア (Bi-jinia), although I think the Japanese “ee” sound of the “I” strays too far off/is too extreme compared to the original pronunciation. Case in point: Veerginia in English sounds odd. I think バージニア (Ba-jinia) would work best.
What about Jay? lol
こんにちは、my name is Jayens but I don’t know if he can translated as Jeiensu. (ジェイエンス)
ありがとうございます！
It depends on how you pronounce your name. If you pronounce it as Jei-ensu. (ジェイエンス) then that’s the best answer. If it’s more of a “Ja-yens,” then ジャエンス・ジャイェンス）
What would Ljay and Eljae be in Japanese please?
エルジェイ
How would I pronounce that please? Thank you if you do reply again, sorry if I’m bothering you.

Hi my name is “manoj kumar palani” i tried google translate but it translated my name as “manoji kumaru” what is exact translation of my name?
It would be more like – マノジュ (Manoju) クマル (Kumaru) パラニ (Parani). For the most part, for names that end with a consonant – that consonant follows a “u” sound rather than a “i” so, not Manoji but Manoju. And Bob would be Bobu.
I just received my black belt in karate and my belt has my name in Japanese on it. I have the first name figured out phonetically but my last name I need help with . It is Tolles.

I would say it would sound like toes.
Then it would be トーズ(toozu) or トース (toosu) depending on how much Z or S you prefer to hear.

This is kinda a side note but there IS a “V” for foreign letters, it’s the “ヴ” symbol (“U” in katakana with the extra lines) followed by a smaller of the vowel characters. Hence names such as “Vicky” could be written as ヴィッキ (Vikki) with the “U” character besides a smaller “i”
ヴ = Vu ィ= ī
Therefore:
ヴィ = Vu~ī (Vi)
ヴォ = Vu~o
ヴァ = Vu~a
ヴェ = Vu~e
Though it should be noted that the Vu character never originally existed, so saying “Bi” is ALSO correct!

Hi! Since Japanese doesn’t have a sound for “Yi” (though oddly there’s Ya, Yu, Yo), it takes on the “Ee” sound with the katakana character “イ.”
You can read more here: http://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/18957/how-to-write-yi-in-katakana
So, your name would be イウェン (pronounced, Eewen). You can even make it イーウェン to elongate the “ee” sound as the “ee” is said quickly and might not capture the pronunciation that you fully intend.
Um.. i have 2 Questions cuz im dum and lost lol How would Britany and Anyiha be spelled in Japanese Can someone plz tell me ^_^
Britany would be…
ブリタニーBuritani- (with an elongated “i” pronunced as Bu-ri-ta-nee)
Anyiha deepends on the pronunciation. How would you pronounce it? If it’s “Ah-nee-ha”, then アニーハ in Japanese.
Christine Willey (or Lucus) pronounced kriss-TEEN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GaOhjsPhvM&feature=player_embedded and Willey is Wil-lee https://www.howtopronounce.com/willey/

Is it Churisutene Uirrei (Rukus)
クリスチン (Kurisuchin) ウィッリー (Wirri-) ルカス (Rukasu) should be a safe bet

Hi! I think I’ve got it, but I’m not sure. My name is Evan. Wouldn’t it be Eban?
You got it! That’s right.
My name, being Coltyn, would be Koruten? Koruton? Lol
Hi Coltyn! It depends how you pronounce your name. If the “tyn” part sounds like “tin”, it would be コルチン (Koruchin) or コルティン (Korutein – more closer to the tin sound). If it sounds like “ton,” then Koruton (コルテン). You have some flexibility with how you want it/which sound suits your name best!
It’s pronounced as “Cole-tin”, so I guess it’d be either Koruchin or Korutein, huh? Haha
That’s right! In that case, it’s up to you as to how your name is spelled/pronounced and you can choose one of the two. Korutein might be the closest sounding one. The “ti” sound can be created with that small ィ (katakana i) after the テ (te). As an extra example: Ice Tea in Japanese is アイスティー or Aisu Tei-
