Questions about Lynda in Japanese

How do you write Lynda in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Lynda?

Our top pick is 麟太 (Rinta). 麟 means “qilin” and 太 means “bold”. Other good options are 鈴太 (Rinta) and 琳太 (Rinta).

Is 麟太 a real Japanese name?

Yes. 麟太 is also found in Japan as a given name, read Rinta, so it looks natural to Japanese readers. For Lynda, it works as both a real-looking Japanese name and a kanji spelling of your own name.

How many strokes is 麟太?

麟太 has 28 strokes in total (麟: 24, 太: 4). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 麟太 as a tattoo?

Each character in 麟太 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 “Lynda”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (リンダ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
