シュレヤ (Shureya) is the Japanese way to write the female given name of Indian origin, Shreya.

How do you pronounce it?
Shureya
Did you know?
- While シュレヤ is the phonetic transcription, a person named Shreya might choose specific kanji characters to write their name in Japanese to give it a poetic meaning, such as 'auspicious' or 'beautiful'.
- Because Japanese lacks a distinct 'r' sound, the name シュレヤ is pronounced with a flap, where the tongue quickly taps the roof of the mouth, sounding like a mix between an 'r' and a 'd'.
- In Japanese media like manga or anime, if a character named Shreya were to appear, her name would be printed in Katakana to immediately signal to the reader that she is an international character.
