Questions about Margo in Japanese

How do you write Margo in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Margo?

Our top pick is 満湖 (Mako). 満 means “fullness” and 湖 means “lake”. Other good options are 真湖 (Mako) and 茉湖 (Mako).

Is 満湖 a real Japanese name?

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

How many strokes is 満湖?

満湖 has 24 strokes in total (満: 12, 湖: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 満湖 as a tattoo?

Each character in 満湖 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 “Margo”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (マーゴ) 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.
