Paul in Japanese Kanji
Paul in Japanese is ポル. Written in kanji, a stroke-checked spelling is 保瑠.
“The rising sun — powerful momentum toward success.”
This is not a random conversion. Every kanji below is genuinely used in Japanese names, and this combination was selected because its stroke total lands on a lucky number under seimei handan (姓名判断) — the traditional check Japanese families use.
What each kanji means
To protect, preserve. Yasushi and Ho readings — Yasuko (保子) — describe a guardian character, someone under whose care things stay safe.
Lapis lazuli's 瑠 (瑠璃) — jewel-blue depth. Ruri (瑠璃) and Ruka (瑠花) sparkle with it; the character exists almost solely for beautiful things.
