Questions about Adam in Japanese

How do you write Adam in Japanese?

Adam is written アダム in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Adam would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

What are the best kanji for Adam?

Our top pick is 安田夢 (Atamu). 安 means “peace”, 田 means “rice field” and 夢 means “dream”. Other good options are 朝太夢 (Atamu) and 安妥夢 (Adamu).

Is 安田夢 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 安田夢 is a creative kanji spelling (called ateji), chosen for its sounds and meanings. Japanese readers will understand what each character means, and many will enjoy the idea behind it.

How many strokes is 安田夢?

安田夢 has 24 strokes in total (安: 6, 田: 5, 夢: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 安田夢 as a tattoo?

Each character in 安田夢 has a positive meaning, so it is a reasonable choice. Keep in mind that Japanese people will read it as the meaning of the characters, not instantly as “Adam”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (アダム) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
