Questions about Asia in Japanese
How do you write Asia in Japanese?
Asia is written エイジャ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Asia would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.
What are the best kanji for Asia?
Our top pick is 永二 (Eiji). 永 means “eternity” and 二 means “two”. Other good options are 永路 (Eiji) and 永慈 (Eiji).
Is 永二 a real Japanese name?
Yes. 永二 is also found in Japan as a given name, read Eiji, so it looks natural to Japanese readers. For Asia, it works as both a real-looking Japanese name and a kanji spelling of your own name.
How many strokes is 永二?
永二 has 7 strokes in total (永: 5, 二: 2). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.
Can I use 永二 as a tattoo?
Each character in 永二 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 “Asia”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エイジャ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
