Questions about Carma in Japanese

How do you write Carma in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Carma?

Our top pick is 佳満 (Kama). 佳 means “excellence” and 満 means “fullness”. Other good options are 佳舞 (Kama) and 賀満 (Kama).

Is 佳満 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 佳満 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Yoshimi and Yoshimitsu rather than Kama. As a spelling of Carma, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 佳満?

佳満 has 20 strokes in total (佳: 8, 満: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 佳満 as a tattoo?

Each character in 佳満 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 “Carma”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (カーマ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
