Questions about Made in Japanese

How do you write Made in Japanese?

Made is written マデ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Made 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 メイド (English).

What are the best kanji for Made?

Our top pick is 満天 (Mate). 満 means “fullness” and 天 means “heaven”. Other good options are 真天 (Mate) and 真鼎 (Matei).

Is 満天 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 満天 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Manten rather than Mate. As a spelling of Made, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 満天?

満天 has 16 strokes in total (満: 12, 天: 4). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 満天 as a tattoo?

Each character in 満天 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 “Made”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (マデ) 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.
