Questions about Juana in Japanese
How do you write Juana in Japanese?
Juana is written ワナ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Juana would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.
What are the best kanji for Juana?
Our top pick is 和奈 (Wana). 和 means “harmony” and 奈 means “nara”. Other good options are 和凪 (Wana) and 和南 (Wana).
Is 和奈 a real Japanese name?
Yes. 和奈 is also found in Japan as a girl’s name, read Wana, so it looks natural to Japanese readers. For Juana, it works as both a real-looking Japanese name and a kanji spelling of your own name.
How many strokes is 和奈?
和奈 has 16 strokes in total (和: 8, 奈: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 和奈 as a tattoo?
Each character in 和奈 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 “Juana”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ワナ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
