Questions about Mie in Japanese

How do you write Mie in Japanese?

Mie is written ミエ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Mie 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 ミー (spelled out).

What are the best kanji for Mie?

Our top pick is 弥栄 (Mie). 弥 means “ever more” and 栄 means “prosperity”. Other good options are 実英 (Mie) and 実絵 (Mie).

Is 弥栄 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 弥栄 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Yae and Yaei rather than Mie. As a spelling of Mie, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 弥栄?

弥栄 has 17 strokes in total (弥: 8, 栄: 9). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 弥栄 as a tattoo?

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