Violet
Flower
紫羅蘭 is the Chinese title for the flower we refer to as the violet in English.
Some may call it the gillyflower.
Violet
ヴァイオレット is the name Violet in Japanese.
Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
Violet
English name
This is the Mandarin Chinese transliteration for the name Violet.
Violet
菫 is the Japanese Kanji for violet.
This can refer to any flower of genus Viola, esp. the Fuji dawn, Viola mandshurica.
This can also be the Japanese name Sumire. 菫 is also commonly written in Katakana as スミレ.
菫 is a variant of the Chinese character 堇 (jin3) which has the same meaning.
Purple / Violet
(2 character version)
紫色 is the two-character Chinese, Japanese, and old Korean title for the color violet/purple.
The second character means “color,” so this literally means “violet color.”
It's more common to add the “color character” in Asian languages than to say “color” after the name of the color in English. Therefore, this is a natural way to express “violet” in Asian languages.
Purple / Violet
紫 is the single-character Chinese, Japanese, and old Korean title for the color violet/purple.
The difference between violet and purple is not really distinguished in Asian languages. However, sometimes a character for “light” is added to the front of this one, which might be closer to the meaning of violet.
Violet Color
紺 is a slightly-rare Chinese and old Korean title for the color violet or purple.
In Japanese, this refers to a very deep blue color.
