Questions about Hershey in Japanese

How do you write Hershey in Japanese?

Hershey is written ハーシー in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Hershey 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 ハーシェイ (as written in Japan).

What are the best kanji for Hershey?

Our top pick is 葉詞 (Hashi). 葉 means “leaf” and 詞 means “lyrics”. Other good options are 葉詩 (Hashi) and 羽詞 (Hashi).

Is 葉詞 a real Japanese name?

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

葉詞 has 24 strokes in total (葉: 12, 詞: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 葉詞 as a tattoo?

Each character in 葉詞 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 “Hershey”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ハーシー) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.

Planning a tattoo or a print? Read the kanji tattoo checklist, and check the kanji in the name tool. Not sure which script to use? See katakana or kanji.
