Questions about Denver in Japanese

How do you write Denver in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Denver?

Our top pick is 天葉 (Tenha). 天 means “heaven” and 葉 means “leaf”. Other good options are 伝葉 (Denha) and 天羽 (Tenha).

Is 天葉 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 天葉 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Asa and Amaha rather than Tenha. As a spelling of Denver, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 天葉?

天葉 has 16 strokes in total (天: 4, 葉: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 天葉 as a tattoo?

Each character in 天葉 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 “Denver”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (デンバー) 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.
