Questions about Myrtle in Japanese

How do you write Myrtle in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Myrtle?

Our top pick is 真登瑠 (Matoru). 真 means “truth”, 登 means “ascent” and 瑠 means “lapis lazuli”. Other good options are 真瞳瑠 (Matouru) and 茉斗瑠 (Matoru).

Is 真登瑠 a real Japanese name?

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

真登瑠 has 36 strokes in total (真: 10, 登: 12, 瑠: 14). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 真登瑠 as a tattoo?

Each character in 真登瑠 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 “Myrtle”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (マートル) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
