Questions about Etty in Japanese

How do you write Etty in Japanese?

Etty is written エッティ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Etty would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag. Depending on the origin of the name, it can also be written エティ (as written in Japan).

What are the best kanji for Etty?

Our top pick is 英定 (Etei). 英 means “brilliance” and 定 means “steady”. Other good options are 英鼎 (Etei) and 永定 (Etei).

Is 英定 a real Japanese name?

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

英定 has 16 strokes in total (英: 8, 定: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 英定 as a tattoo?

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