Questions about Fernandes in Japanese

How do you write Fernandes in Japanese?

Fernandes is written フェルナンデス in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Fernandes 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 ファーナンデス (English).

What are the best kanji for Fernandes?

Our top pick is 平琉奈天寿 (Heirunatesu). 平 means “peace”, 琉 means “lapis lazuli”, 奈 means “nara”, 天 means “heaven” and 寿 means “long life”. Other good options are 平琉南天寿 (Heirunantesu) and 平瑠奈天珠 (Heirunatesu).

Is 平琉奈天寿 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 平琉奈天寿 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 平琉奈天寿?

平琉奈天寿 has 35 strokes in total (平: 5, 琉: 11, 奈: 8, 天: 4, 寿: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 平琉奈天寿 as a tattoo?

Each character in 平琉奈天寿 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 “Fernandes”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (フェルナンデス) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
