Questions about Isis in Japanese

How do you write Isis in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Isis?

Our top pick is 藍志寿 (Aishisu). 藍 means “indigo”, 志 means “aspiration” and 寿 means “long life”. Other good options are 藍詩日 (Aishisu) and 藍士澄 (Aishisu).

Is 藍志寿 a real Japanese name?

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

藍志寿 has 32 strokes in total (藍: 18, 志: 7, 寿: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 藍志寿 as a tattoo?

Each character in 藍志寿 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 “Isis”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (アイシス) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
