Questions about Intan in Japanese

How do you write Intan in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Intan?

Our top pick is 唯丹 (Itan). 唯 means “the only one” and 丹 means “vermilion”. Other good options are 唯太 (Ita) and 偉丹 (Itan).

Is 唯丹 a real Japanese name?

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

唯丹 has 15 strokes in total (唯: 11, 丹: 4). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 唯丹 as a tattoo?

Each character in 唯丹 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 “Intan”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (インタン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
