Questions about Jonas in Japanese
How do you write Jonas in Japanese?
Jonas is written ジョーナス in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Jonas would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

Our top pick is 恕奈寿 (Jonasu). 恕 means “forgiveness”, 奈 means “nara” and 寿 means “long life”. Other good options are 穣奈寿 (Jounasu) and 城奈珠 (Jounasu).
Is 恕奈寿 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 恕奈寿 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 恕奈寿?
恕奈寿 has 25 strokes in total (恕: 10, 奈: 8, 寿: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 恕奈寿 as a tattoo?
Each character in 恕奈寿 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 “Jonas”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ジョーナス) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
