Questions about Tilde in Japanese

How do you write Tilde in Japanese?

Tilde is written ティルデ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Tilde 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 ティルダ (English) and ティルド (spelled out).

What are the best kanji for Tilde?

Our top pick is 輝貞 (Terutei). 輝 means “radiance” and 貞 means “steadfast”. Other good options are 輝天 (Terute) and 天瑠貞 (Terutei).

Is 輝貞 a real Japanese name?

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

輝貞 has 24 strokes in total (輝: 15, 貞: 9). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 輝貞 as a tattoo?

Each character in 輝貞 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 “Tilde”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ティルデ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
