Questions about Suzan in Japanese

How do you write Suzan in Japanese?

Suzan is written シュザン in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Suzan would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag. Depending on the origin of the name, it can also be written スザン (spelled out).

What are the best kanji for Suzan?

Our top pick is 朱山 (Shusan). 朱 means “vermilion” and 山 means “mountain”. Other good options are 朱紗 (Shusa) and 朱冴 (Shusa).

Is 朱山 a real Japanese name?

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

朱山 has 9 strokes in total (朱: 6, 山: 3). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 朱山 as a tattoo?

Each character in 朱山 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 “Suzan”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (シュザン) 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.
