Questions about Tarja in Japanese

How do you write Tarja in Japanese?

Tarja is written ターヤ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Tarja 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 タージャ (spelled out).

What are the best kanji for Tarja?

Our top pick is 多弥 (Taya). 多 means “many” and 弥 means “ever more”. Other good options are 田弥 (Taya) and 楽弥 (Taya).

Is 多弥 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 多弥 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Kazuya and Tami rather than Taya. As a spelling of Tarja, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 多弥?

多弥 has 14 strokes in total (多: 6, 弥: 8). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 多弥 as a tattoo?

Each character in 多弥 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 “Tarja”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ターヤ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
