Questions about Etta in Japanese

How do you write Etta in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Etta?

Our top pick is 永太 (Eta). 永 means “eternity” and 太 means “bold”. Other good options are 英太 (Eta) and 栄太 (Eta).

Is 永太 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 永太 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Eita rather than Eta. As a spelling of Etta, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 永太?

永太 has 9 strokes in total (永: 5, 太: 4). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 永太 as a tattoo?

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