Questions about Hafiz in Japanese
How do you write Hafiz in Japanese?
Hafiz is written ハフィス in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Hafiz 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 ハーフィズ (as written in Japan) and ハーフェズ (as written in Japan).

Is 葉日寿 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 葉日寿 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 葉日寿?
葉日寿 has 23 strokes in total (葉: 12, 日: 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 葉日寿 as a tattoo?
Each character in 葉日寿 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 “Hafiz”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ハフィス) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
