Questions about Najwa in Japanese
How do you write Najwa in Japanese?
Najwa is written ナジュワ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Najwa 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 ナイワ (as written in Japan).

Our top pick is 南寿和 (Najuwa). 南 means “south”, 寿 means “long life” and 和 means “harmony”. Other good options are 南樹環 (Najuwa) and 菜樹和 (Najuwa).
Is 南寿和 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 南寿和 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 南寿和?
南寿和 has 24 strokes in total (南: 9, 寿: 7, 和: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 南寿和 as a tattoo?
Each character in 南寿和 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 “Najwa”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ナジュワ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
