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

What are the best kanji for Bertie?

Our top pick is 羽天 (Bate). 羽 means “feather” and 天 means “heaven”. Other good options are 羽禎 (Batei) and 羽定 (Batei).

Is 羽天 a real Japanese name?

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

羽天 has 10 strokes in total (羽: 6, 天: 4). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 羽天 as a tattoo?

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