Questions about Edgar in Japanese

How do you write Edgar in Japanese?

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

Our top pick is 栄登香 (Etoka). 栄 means “prosperity”, 登 means “ascent” and 香 means “fragrance”. Other good options are 英登夏 (Etoka) and 栄登賀 (Etoga).

Is 栄登香 a real Japanese name?

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

栄登香 has 30 strokes in total (栄: 9, 登: 12, 香: 9). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 栄登香 as a tattoo?

Each character in 栄登香 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 “Edgar”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エドガー) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
