Questions about Amy in Japanese

How do you write Amy in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Amy?

Our top pick is 永実 (Eimi). 永 means “eternity” and 実 means “fruit”. Other good options are 瑛唯実 (Eimi) and 永美 (Eimi).

Is 永実 a real Japanese name?

Yes. 永実 is also found in Japan as a girl’s name, read Eimi, so it looks natural to Japanese readers. For Amy, it works as both a real-looking Japanese name and a kanji spelling of your own name.

How many strokes is 永実?

永実 has 13 strokes in total (永: 5, 実: 8). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 永実 as a tattoo?

Each character in 永実 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 “Amy”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エイミー) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
