Questions about Siva in Japanese

How do you write Siva in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Siva?

Our top pick is 志葉 (Shiha). 志 means “aspiration” and 葉 means “leaf”. Other good options are 詩葉 (Shiha) and 詩羽 (Shiha).

Is 志葉 a real Japanese name?

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

How many strokes is 志葉?

志葉 has 19 strokes in total (志: 7, 葉: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 志葉 as a tattoo?

Each character in 志葉 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 “Siva”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (シバ) 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.
