Questions about Jochen in Japanese

How do you write Jochen in Japanese?

Jochen is written ヨッヘン in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Jochen 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 ヨヒェン (German) and ヨッヒェン (as written in Japan).

What are the best kanji for Jochen?

Our top pick is 世平 (Yohei). 世 means “world” and 平 means “peace”. Other good options are 洋平 (Youhei) and 誉平 (Yohei).

Is 世平 a real Japanese name?

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

世平 has 10 strokes in total (世: 5, 平: 5). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 世平 as a tattoo?

Each character in 世平 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 “Jochen”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ヨッヘン) 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.
