Questions about Garth in Japanese

How do you write Garth in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Garth?

Our top pick is 賀寿 (Gasu). 賀 means “celebration” and 寿 means “long life”. Other good options are 雅寿 (Gasu) and 雅日 (Gasu).

Is 賀寿 a real Japanese name?

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

How many strokes is 賀寿?

賀寿 has 19 strokes in total (賀: 12, 寿: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 賀寿 as a tattoo?

Each character in 賀寿 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 “Garth”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ガース) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
