Questions about Valentina in Japanese

How do you write Valentina in Japanese?

Valentina is written バレンティーナ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Valentina would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

What are the best kanji for Valentina?

Our top pick is 羽蓮天南 (Barentena). 羽 means “feather”, 蓮 means “lotus”, 天 means “heaven” and 南 means “south”. Other good options are 羽蓮逞南 (Barenteina) and 羽恋天和 (Barentena).

Is 羽蓮天南 a real Japanese name?

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

羽蓮天南 has 32 strokes in total (羽: 6, 蓮: 13, 天: 4, 南: 9). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 羽蓮天南 as a tattoo?

Each character in 羽蓮天南 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 “Valentina”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (バレンティーナ) 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.
