Jagdish in Japanese

Jagdish is written ジャグディシュ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Jagdish 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 ジャグディッシュ (as written in Japan).

Our top pick is 路久二秋 (Jikujishuu). 路 means “path”, 久 means “everlasting”, 二 means “two” and 秋 means “autumn”. Other good options are 路久二朱 (Jikujishu) and 慈久二秀 (Jikujishuu).

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 路久二秋 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.

路久二秋 has 27 strokes in total (路: 13, 久: 3, 二: 2, 秋: 9). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 路久二秋 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 “Jagdish”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ジャグディシュ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
