Questions about Porter in Japanese

How do you write Porter in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Porter?

Our top pick is 芳太 (Houta). 芳 means “fragrant” and 太 means “bold”. Other good options are 帆太 (Hota) and 鳳太 (Houta).

Is 芳太 a real Japanese name?

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

芳太 has 11 strokes in total (芳: 7, 太: 4). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 芳太 as a tattoo?

Each character in 芳太 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 “Porter”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ポーター) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
