How do you say "White Lily" in Japanese?

Yeah, like if it%26#039;s someone%26#039;s name?


I know Yuri means Lily, but I don%26#039;t know how to say white... :/

How do you say %26quot;White Lily%26quot; in Japanese?
shira-yuri(白百合)





Lily: 百合(yuri)





When %26quot;白(which means %26quot;white%26quot;)%26quot; is added at the beginning, sometimes its pronunciation changes to %26quot;shira-%26quot; not %26quot;shiro-%26quot;. For example, %26quot;白子(shira-ko), %26quot;白滝(shira-taki)%26quot;, and %26quot;白髪(shira-ga)%26quot; and so on.
Reply:Shiroi yuri.


shiroi - white


yuri - lily
Reply:shirayuri
Reply:white is shiro, or 白
Reply:white lily = shirayuri (白百合)


white = shiro (白) (shira is inflection)


Lily = yuri (百合)





shirayuri is not someone%26#039;s name. if so, its like cartoon%26#039;s character or school%26#039;s name or something.


ex.


白百合学園 (shirayuri gakuen) school%26#039;s name


百合子 (yuriko) is ok for girl%26#039;s name.
