Foreign names in Japanese Kanji...?

Question

I know foreign names are not written in Kanji (Katakana I believe). But, can somebody give me the Kanjis and meanings for these two names: 1) Alan, and 2) Andre

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

What about these?



Alan= 阿覧　(ア・ラン）　阿＝high hill,beatiful,

depend / 覧＝look

comment: there is a SUMO wrestler (Russian)

as the same name as this IN Japan

　　　　亜蘭　(ア・ラン）　亜＝next / 蘭= a kind

of flower

any of above + 嵐　（ラン　）嵐＝mountain

storm, violent storm



Andre = 案努礼 (アン・ド・レ）

　　　　　　　　案＝thought / 努＝endeavor /

礼＝courtesy

You 'd better look up in kanji dictionary because there so many kanji.

Answer 2

in japanese their are no kanji's for alan or andre

since the names are not japanese and only japanese names can write in katakana why dont you try chinese kanji??

I dont know chinese kanji but maybe their is a way in chinese kanji to write foreign names
