Questions about Bojan in Japanese

How do you write Bojan in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Bojan?

Our top pick is 望弥 (Bouya). 望 means “hope” and 弥 means “ever more”. Other good options are 菩弥 (Boya) and 暮弥 (Boya).

Is 望弥 a real Japanese name?

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

How many strokes is 望弥?

望弥 has 19 strokes in total (望: 11, 弥: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 望弥 as a tattoo?

Each character in 望弥 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 “Bojan”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ボヤン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
