Questions about Elfi in Japanese

How do you write Elfi in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Elfi?

Our top pick is 英瑠灯 (Eruhi). 英 means “brilliance”, 瑠 means “lapis lazuli” and 灯 means “lamp”. Other good options are 瑛瑠日 (Eruhi) and 英瑠日 (Eiruhi).

Is 英瑠灯 a real Japanese name?

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

英瑠灯 has 28 strokes in total (英: 8, 瑠: 14, 灯: 6). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 英瑠灯 as a tattoo?

Each character in 英瑠灯 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 “Elfi”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エルフィ) 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.
