Note

Katakana is commonly used in Japan for foreign names, making this version the most natural choice for everyday use if you are not Japanese.

The Kanji output is an approximate, mechanical selection from our database. Each kanji carries its own unique meanings and stories, but the tool does not consider the overall harmony or combined interpretations.

The Kanji version is created for fun and inspiration — not as an official name translation. Enjoy exploring how each character adds meaning! It may not convey clear or coherent meanings from a Japanese perspective and is not recognized for formal use unless you have an officially registered Kanji name.

You’re welcome to use it as a name for a character in manga, novels, or other creative works. However, if you plan to use a Kanji name for a real person and wish for a more natural or culturally appropriate combination, we recommend seeking advice from someone with a deep understanding of kanji.

If you feel uncertain or would like guidance, please reach out to us through the Contact page. We offer this service as volunteers, completely free of charge.
