Questions about Maude in Japanese

How do you write Maude in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Maude?

Our top pick is 茂道 (Modou). 茂 means “lush” and 道 means “the way”. Other good options are 茂登 (Moto) and 百道 (Modou).

Is 茂道 a real Japanese name?

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

茂道 has 20 strokes in total (茂: 8, 道: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 茂道 as a tattoo?

Each character in 茂道 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 “Maude”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (モード) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
