Questions about Evelyn in Japanese

How do you write Evelyn in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Evelyn?

Our top pick is 英武琳 (Eburin). 英 means “brilliance”, 武 means “martial” and 琳 means “jade”. Other good options are 英風琳 (Efurin) and 栄風鈴 (Efurin).

Is 英武琳 a real Japanese name?

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

英武琳 has 28 strokes in total (英: 8, 武: 8, 琳: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 英武琳 as a tattoo?

Each character in 英武琳 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 “Evelyn”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エブリン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
