Questions about Martinus in Japanese

How do you write Martinus in Japanese?

Martinus is written マルティヌス in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Martinus 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 マルチヌス (as written in Japan).

What are the best kanji for Martinus?

Our top pick is 丸天之寿 (Marutennosu). 丸 means “round”, 天 means “heaven”, 之 means “this” and 寿 means “long life”. Other good options are 丸天能珠 (Marutennosu) and 丸天野澄 (Marutennosu).

Is 丸天之寿 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 丸天之寿 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 丸天之寿?

丸天之寿 has 17 strokes in total (丸: 3, 天: 4, 之: 3, 寿: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 丸天之寿 as a tattoo?

Each character in 丸天之寿 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 “Martinus”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (マルティヌス) 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.
