Questions about Eddie in Japanese

How do you write Eddie in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Eddie?

Our top pick is 英路 (Eji). 英 means “brilliance” and 路 means “path”. Other good options are 栄路 (Eji) and 英二 (Eji).

Is 英路 a real Japanese name?

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

How many strokes is 英路?

英路 has 21 strokes in total (英: 8, 路: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 英路 as a tattoo?

Each character in 英路 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 “Eddie”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エディ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
