Questions about Elisabeth in Japanese

How do you write Elisabeth in Japanese?

Elisabeth is written エリザベス in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Elisabeth would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

What are the best kanji for Elisabeth?

Our top pick is 永里彩平寿 (Erisaheisu). 永 means “eternity”, 里 means “hometown”, 彩 means “color”, 平 means “peace” and 寿 means “long life”. Other good options are 英理紗平寿 (Erisaheisu) and 英莉彩平寿 (Erisaheisu).

Is 永里彩平寿 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 永里彩平寿 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 永里彩平寿?

永里彩平寿 has 35 strokes in total (永: 5, 里: 7, 彩: 11, 平: 5, 寿: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 永里彩平寿 as a tattoo?

Each character in 永里彩平寿 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 “Elisabeth”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エリザベス) 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.
