Questions about Bertha in Japanese

How do you write Bertha in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Bertha?

Our top pick is 羽紗 (Basa). 羽 means “feather” and 紗 means “silk gauze”. Other good options are 羽彩 (Basa) and 羽冴 (Basa).

Is 羽紗 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 羽紗 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Usa rather than Basa. As a spelling of Bertha, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 羽紗?

羽紗 has 16 strokes in total (羽: 6, 紗: 10). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 羽紗 as a tattoo?

Each character in 羽紗 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 “Bertha”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (バーサ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
