Questions about Edel in Japanese

How do you write Edel in Japanese?

Edel is written エデル in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Edel would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag. Depending on the origin of the name, it can also be written エーデル (as written in Japan).

What are the best kanji for Edel?

Our top pick is 英輝 (Eteru). 英 means “brilliance” and 輝 means “radiance”. Other good options are 栄輝 (Eteru) and 英暉 (Eteru).

Is 英輝 a real Japanese name?

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

How many strokes is 英輝?

英輝 has 23 strokes in total (英: 8, 輝: 15). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 英輝 as a tattoo?

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