Questions about Autumn in Japanese

How do you write Autumn in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Autumn?

Our top pick is 雄太夢 (Otamu). 雄 means “heroic”, 太 means “bold” and 夢 means “dream”. Other good options are 扇太夢 (Outamu) and 桜多夢 (Outamu).

Is 雄太夢 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 雄太夢 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 雄太夢?

雄太夢 has 29 strokes in total (雄: 12, 太: 4, 夢: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 雄太夢 as a tattoo?

Each character in 雄太夢 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 “Autumn”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (オータム) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
