Questions about Shinta in Japanese

How do you write Shinta in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Shinta?

Our top pick is 信太 (Shinta). 信 means “trust” and 太 means “bold”. Other good options are 心太 (Shinta) and 心田 (Shinta).

Is 信太 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 信太 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Nobuta rather than Shinta. As a spelling of Shinta, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 信太?

信太 has 13 strokes in total (信: 9, 太: 4). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 信太 as a tattoo?

Each character in 信太 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 “Shinta”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (シンタ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
