Questions about Paddy in Japanese

How do you write Paddy in Japanese?

Paddy is written パッディ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Paddy 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 パディ (as written in Japan).

What are the best kanji for Paddy?

Our top pick is 葉路 (Haji). 葉 means “leaf” and 路 means “path”. Other good options are 羽路 (Haji) and 葉慈 (Haji).

Is 葉路 a real Japanese name?

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

葉路 has 25 strokes in total (葉: 12, 路: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 葉路 as a tattoo?

Each character in 葉路 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 “Paddy”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (パッディ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.

Planning a tattoo or a print? Read the kanji tattoo checklist, and check the kanji in the name tool. Not sure which script to use? See katakana or kanji.
