Questions about Esti in Japanese
How do you write Esti in Japanese?
Esti is written エスティ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Esti would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

Our top pick is 栄寿天 (Esute). 栄 means “prosperity”, 寿 means “long life” and 天 means “heaven”. Other good options are 栄寿禎 (Esutei) and 永寿天 (Eisute).
Is 栄寿天 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 栄寿天 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 栄寿天?
栄寿天 has 20 strokes in total (栄: 9, 寿: 7, 天: 4). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 栄寿天 as a tattoo?
Each character in 栄寿天 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 “Esti”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エスティ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
