カハール Explanation: Foreign names are written using the Katakana alphabet. Your last name in Japanese is spelled: カハール It's pronunciation (i.e. the closest the Japanese alphabet can come to pronouncing your name) is: Kahaaru. Good luck on your painting! |

花春 (Flower Spring) Explanation: If you want to take some liberties with the Japanese language and with the pronounciation of your name, you have a few options. All of the following character combinations have the sound kaharu. This is not how your name would actually be said in Japan (see Philip's answer), but if you are doing this for art, it doesn't really matter right? In each of the following combos, the first character can have the sound ka, and the second character (spring) can have the sound haru. If you can't see these in your web browser, let me know and I can send you an image file. 火春 Fire Spring 歌春 Song (poetry) Spring 花春 Flower Spring 鹿春 Deer Spring 嘉春 Good (auspicious) Spring 香春 Fragrant (Sweet smelling) Spring Good luck. |

キャハ−ル or キャハル or キャホール or ケイハール or ケイハル or ケイホール or カホール or カハ−ル Explanation: We normally use the katakana alphabet to write foreign names in Japanese. How you write your name in katakana depends on how you pronounce your name and also on where the accent is placed. The first example,キャハ−ル, is used when your name is pronounced like the following: CA as in cat and HALL with a long [a], much like [haal]. The second one, キャハル, is used for the next pronunciation: CA as in cat and HALL as in Hal, a boy's name. The third one, キャホール: CA as in cat and HALL as in the dining hall. The fourth one, ケイハ−ル:CA as in Kay and HALL with a long [a], much like [haal]. The fifth one, ケイハル:CA as in Kay and HALL as in Hal. The sixth one,ケイホール:Ca as in Kay and HALL as in dining hall. The seventh one,カホール:CA as in catastrophe and HALL as in dining hall. The eighth one,カハ−ル:CA as in catastrophe and HALL with a long [a], much like [haal].The ninth one,カハル: CA as in catastrophe and HALL as in Hal. So, which katakana combination is the closest to how you pronounce your name? However, you could use any combination of Chinese characters if you just want to add an Oriental touch to your painting. Again, the combination of Chinese characters will depend on how you pronounce your last name. The Chinese use different combinations of characters since the Japanese people pronounce Chinese characters differently from the Chinese people do. |
