rei
レイ is the name Ray in Japanese.
Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
léi
This is a common Mandarin Chinese transliteration for the name Ray.
Ryleigh
léi lì
羅利 is the name Ryleigh in Chinese (Mandarin).
Use this version if your name sounds like “ray lee.”
Leon
reon
This is an alternate version of the name Leon in Japanese.
This version sounds a bit like “ray-on,” so I like the other that sounds like “ree-on.”
Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
Marici / Marishiten
mó lì zhī tiān
ma ri shi ten
This is the Chinese and Japanese title for Marici, the Buddhist god of war.
Pronounced as Marishiten in Japan or Molizhitian in China.
The original name Mārīcī comes from the Sanskrit मारीची which literally means “Ray of Light.”
Light / Bright / Shine
光 is the simplest way to express “light” in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.
It can also mean ray or bright. Chinese tend to use a two-character word for light/bright, so this character is probably best if your audience is Japanese. Also, when pronounced Rei, this can be a Japanese female given name.
In the Zen Buddhist context, this is the pure light that everyone possesses at their origin.
