Questions about Sang in Japanese

How do you write Sang in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Sang?

Our top pick is 山玖 (Sanku). 山 means “mountain” and 玖 means “black jade”. Other good options are 山久 (Sanku) and 紗久 (Saku).

Is 山玖 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 山玖 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 山玖?

山玖 has 10 strokes in total (山: 3, 玖: 7). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 山玖 as a tattoo?

Each character in 山玖 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 “Sang”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (サング) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
