Questions about Sirena in Japanese

Our top pick is 詩玲菜 (Shirena). 詩 means “poem”, 玲 means “chime” and 菜 means “greens”. Other good options are 詩麗菜 (Shireina) and 詩礼南 (Shirena).

Is 詩玲菜 a real Japanese name?

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

詩玲菜 has 33 strokes in total (詩: 13, 玲: 9, 菜: 11). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 詩玲菜 as a tattoo?

Each character in 詩玲菜 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 “Sirena”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (シレナ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
