Questions about Madhu in Japanese

How do you write Madhu in Japanese?

Madhu is written マデュ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Madhu 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 マドフ (spelled out).

What are the best kanji for Madhu?

Our top pick is 真樹 (Maju). 真 means “truth” and 樹 means “tree”. Other good options are 真寿 (Maju) and 満寿 (Maju).

Is 真樹 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 真樹 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Shinju and Maki rather than Maju. As a spelling of Madhu, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 真樹?

真樹 has 26 strokes in total (真: 10, 樹: 16). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 真樹 as a tattoo?

Each character in 真樹 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 “Madhu”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (マデュ) 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.
