Our top pick is 真陽 (Mahi). 真 means “truth” and 陽 means “sunlight”. Other good options are 満敏 (Mabin) and 真敏 (Mabin).

Is 真陽 a real Japanese name?

How many strokes is 真陽?

真陽 has 22 strokes in total (真: 10, 陽: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 真陽 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 “Mervin”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (マービン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
