Questions about Edina in Japanese

How do you write Edina in Japanese?

Edina is written エディナ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Edina 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 エディーナ (English).

What are the best kanji for Edina?

Our top pick is 英路南 (Ejina). 英 means “brilliance”, 路 means “path” and 南 means “south”. Other good options are 永二南 (Ejina) and 英二菜 (Ejina).

Is 英路南 a real Japanese name?

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

英路南 has 30 strokes in total (英: 8, 路: 13, 南: 9). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 英路南 as a tattoo?

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