Questions about Dejan in Japanese

How do you write Dejan in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Dejan?

Our top pick is 天弥 (Teya). 天 means “heaven” and 弥 means “ever more”. Other good options are 禎弥 (Teiya) and 貞弥 (Teiya).

Is 天弥 a real Japanese name?

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

天弥 has 12 strokes in total (天: 4, 弥: 8). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 天弥 as a tattoo?

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

Planning a tattoo or a print? Read the kanji tattoo checklist, and check the kanji in the name tool. Not sure which script to use? See katakana or kanji.
