Questions about Essie in Japanese

How do you write Essie in Japanese?

Essie is written エッシー in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Essie would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

What are the best kanji for Essie?

Our top pick is 永士 (Eshi). 永 means “eternity” and 士 means “warrior”. Other good options are 永詩 (Eshi) and 永紫 (Eshi).

Is 永士 a real Japanese name?

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

永士 has 8 strokes in total (永: 5, 士: 3). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 永士 as a tattoo?

Each character in 永士 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 “Essie”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エッシー) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
