Questions about Marijana in Japanese

How do you write Marijana in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Marijana?

Our top pick is 毬弥奈 (Mariyana). 毬 means “ball”, 弥 means “ever more” and 奈 means “nara”. Other good options are 茉理弥奈 (Mariyana) and 鞠弥菜 (Mariyana).

Is 毬弥奈 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 毬弥奈 is a creative kanji spelling (called ateji), chosen for its sounds and meanings. Japanese readers will understand what each character means, and many will enjoy the idea behind it.

How many strokes is 毬弥奈?

毬弥奈 has 27 strokes in total (毬: 11, 弥: 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 毬弥奈 as a tattoo?

Each character in 毬弥奈 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 “Marijana”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (マリヤナ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
