Questions about Ping in Japanese

How do you write Ping in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Ping?

Our top pick is 日久 (Hiku). 日 means “sun” and 久 means “everlasting”. Other good options are 陽久 (Hiku) and 灯久 (Hiku).

Is 日久 a real Japanese name?

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

日久 has 7 strokes in total (日: 4, 久: 3). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 日久 as a tattoo?

Each character in 日久 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 “Ping”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ピング) 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.
