Questions about Nass in Japanese

How do you write Nass in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Nass?

Our top pick is 南珠 (Nasu). 南 means “south” and 珠 means “pearl”. Other good options are 南寿 (Nasu) and 南日 (Nasu).

Is 南珠 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 南珠 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Minami rather than Nasu. As a spelling of Nass, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 南珠?

南珠 has 19 strokes in total (南: 9, 珠: 10). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 南珠 as a tattoo?

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