How do you say lucky in japanese?

Question

i wanna name my cat(boy) lucky in japanese

i read some where that yuki means lucky and snow is that true?

Answer 1

rakki

Answer 2

Well, in a way, because the character (kanji) for yuki, which means something like "happiness," is used in names, but it is not what a Japanese would say to mean "lucky". And you are right; there is another kanji pronounced "yuki" that means snow. I think Yuki would be a cute name for a cat, especially a white one, but for the idea of lucky, Japanese often use the same English word we do, just pronouncing it with a Japanese accent, so I'm afraid it would be hard to give your cat a real Japanese name that means that.

Answer 3

sachiaru

Answer 4

As a name that would be ラッキー (rakkih).

The word lucky translated into Japanese is an adjective and so it goes like this: 幸運な (kouun na), or 運のいい (un no ii), or 運が良い (un ga ii), and other words which are not good sounding for a name.

The word yuki can mean lucky, snow and some other else depending on the kanji combination. As a name, Yuki is feminine. For a boy it's usually Yukio. But, as a cat's name, yuki will not have the same impression as your intended meaning of "lucky".

Answer 6

you mix up two characters.

about yuki

yuki is stand for girl's name 'yukiko' or 'yukio'.. etc. the character of 'yuki' means 'happiness and lucky'.

about snow

snow is 'yuki' in japanese. but different character from first 'yuki'.

sounds are same but different meaning.

lucky in japanese

saiwai, kouun, ungaii, tsuiteru..etc.

the character 'saiwai' use same character of 'yukiko'. so you can name your cat as 'yuki' if you want. but we think 'yuki' means snow most of the time but lucky. though yukiko does mean 'lucky child/girl'.
