How do you write “Douglas” in Japanese Kanji calligraphy?
I found out that Douglas in Japanese is “DAGURASU”. But I do not know how to write it in nice Japanese Kanji characters.
I found this picture: http://japanesetranslator.co.uk/your-name-in-japanese/temp/dzDhhXGpHrDRTrKxrZqmbHdRbMVXmmHP/Douglas.png
but I don’t like that font, is there another way I could write it in nicer calligraphy?
Unfortunately, Douglas doesn’t have Kanji. DAGURASU is a Katakana transliteration for Douglas, which would be written as ダグラス. Katakana is a phonetic Japanese script for foreign names and words, but it doesn’t capture the beauty of kanji. Kanji characters have their own meanings, so there is probably a combination of Kanji that can be pronounced DAGURASU. I can’t come up with any, though… Kanji come from Chinese Hanzi, I’m sure there’s a phonetic Pinyin version of Douglas… Found it: 道格拉斯. Remember, this is technically Chinese.
