Questions about Estela in Japanese
How do you write Estela in Japanese?
Estela is written エステラ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Estela would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.
What are the best kanji for Estela?
Our top pick is 栄寿寺 (Esutera). 栄 means “prosperity”, 寿 means “long life” and 寺 means “temple”. Other good options are 永日寺 (Esutera) and 永寿寺 (Eisutera).
Is 栄寿寺 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 栄寿寺 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 栄寿寺?
栄寿寺 has 22 strokes in total (栄: 9, 寿: 7, 寺: 6). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 栄寿寺 as a tattoo?
Each character in 栄寿寺 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 “Estela”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エステラ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
