Questions about Mogens in Japanese
How do you write Mogens in Japanese?
Mogens is written モーゲンス in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Mogens 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 モジェンス (spelled out).
What are the best kanji for Mogens?
Our top pick is 茂源寿 (Mogensu). 茂 means “lush”, 源 means “source” and 寿 means “long life”. Other good options are 望源珠 (Mogensu) and 百源日 (Mogensu).
Is 茂源寿 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 茂源寿 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 茂源寿?
茂源寿 has 28 strokes in total (茂: 8, 源: 13, 寿: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 茂源寿 as a tattoo?
Each character in 茂源寿 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 “Mogens”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (モーゲンス) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
