Questions about Queen in Japanese

How do you write Queen in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Queen?

Our top pick is 久生 (Kui). 久 means “everlasting” and 生 means “life”. Other good options are 空生 (Kui) and 空唯 (Kui).

Is 久生 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 久生 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Hisao and Hisayo rather than Kui. As a spelling of Queen, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 久生?

久生 has 8 strokes in total (久: 3, 生: 5). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 久生 as a tattoo?

Each character in 久生 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 “Queen”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (クウィーン) 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.
