What can Erī mean?
A Japanese name can be written in more than one way, and its meaning can change with the kanji used. Rather than assigning one English meaning to “Erī”, this page explains each recorded spelling separately.

The English words shown here are dictionary meanings of individual kanji. They help explain what a spelling can suggest, but they are not a guaranteed translation of the full name and do not establish why a particular person was given that name.

How this reading is classified in the source corpus
This separates dictionary classification from popularity. The same exact kana reading can be recorded as a given name, a surname, or both, and given-name records can carry male, female or unspecified source labels.

row counts carrying each JMnedict source label
| Exact reading | Given-name evidence | Given-name labels | Surname evidence |

Classification boundary: male/female/unspecified are labels attached to imported JMnedict name records. They are not population shares, probabilities, identity claims, or evidence that a spelling is currently common in Japan. A source row can also be repeated across different written forms, so row counts and distinct-writing counts are shown separately.
Source-supplied text attached to Erī records
JMnedict can attach trans_det text to a name-classification block. This may be a Latin spelling, label or descriptor. It is shown only when it adds information beyond this site’s generated romanization.
| Written form | Source reading | JMnedict source text |
|---|---|---|
| エヴァリー | えヴぁりー | Everley |
| エリー | えりー | Ealy |
| エリー | えりー | Eley |
| エリー | えりー | Ely |
| エリー | えりー | Ellie |
| エリー | えりー | Elly |
Meaning boundary: this is text supplied by JMnedict for the associated name-classification block. It is not an inferred kanji meaning, a translation of the written characters as a whole, proof of a person’s preferred Latin spelling, or evidence of popularity.
39 source-text items were omitted because they are equivalent to the generated romanization and would add no distinct information.
Corpus structure behind Erī

Can the same writing be read another way?
4 of 39 displayed written forms have more than one given-name reading somewhere in the active JMnedict corpus. This is dictionary-record ambiguity, not a prediction of how a particular person reads the name.

How recurring characters function across Erī spellings
Position counts are calculated only from the distinct written forms analyzed for this page. KANJIDIC2 nanori are character-level name-reading references; they are not used here to decompose or assert the reading of a specific multi-kanji name.

Counts describe this source-recorded spelling set, not population use. A repeated kanji can contribute to more than one position role across different spellings.
Move from a spelling to its readings, characters and literal sequence context
These relationships are exact and source-backed. Whole-name readings shown in each card come from JMnedict within the current name class; exact-writing search can surface records from other name classes. Character links open KANJIDIC2-backed kanji pages. Sequence context means the same kanji string occurs contiguously in another recorded written form—it does not prove shared origin or meaning.

What does Erī mean?
There is not necessarily one fixed English meaning. The reading identifies the spoken name; different written forms can use different kanji. Character glosses describe individual kanji and should not be treated as proof of the intention behind a particular person’s name.

JMnedict establishes recorded written forms, readings and name classifications; where safely associated, this page can also show JMnedict-supplied trans_det source text without treating it as a whole-name meaning. KANJIDIC2 supplies character readings, nanori, stroke counts, grade classes and English character glosses. The Ministry of Justice remains the official reference for Japanese child-name character rules. The Agency for Cultural Affairs romanization guidance is the reference for generated Latin-script reading aids.
The spelling-frequency and structural counts on this page are calculated from imported JMnedict records. They are corpus counts, not population-frequency claims. KANJIDIC2 supplies the kanji metadata used in character and stroke comparisons.
