Questions about Mehdi in Japanese

How do you write Mehdi in Japanese?

Mehdi is written メディ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Mehdi 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 メヘディ (as written in Japan).

What are the best kanji for Mehdi?

Our top pick is 芽慈 (Meji). 芽 means “sprout” and 慈 means “compassion”. Other good options are 芽路 (Meji) and 芽侍 (Meji).

Is 芽慈 a real Japanese name?

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

芽慈 has 21 strokes in total (芽: 8, 慈: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 芽慈 as a tattoo?

Each character in 芽慈 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 “Mehdi”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (メディ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
