Fiona is written フィオーナ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Fiona would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.
What are the best kanji for Fiona?
Our top pick is 日緒奈 (Hiona). 日 means “sun”, 緒 means “bond” and 奈 means “nara”. Other good options are 陽央奈 (Hiona) and 日桜奈 (Hiouna).

Partly. The characters 日緒奈 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Fiona rather than Hiona. As a spelling of Fiona, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.
How many strokes is 日緒奈?
日緒奈 has 26 strokes in total (日: 4, 緒: 14, 奈: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 日緒奈 as a tattoo?
Each character in 日緒奈 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 “Fiona”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (フィオーナ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
