Questions about Venice in Japanese

How do you write Venice in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Venice?

Our top pick is 紅寿 (Benisu). 紅 means “crimson” and 寿 means “long life”. Other good options are 紅澄 (Benisu) and 紅日 (Benisu).

Is 紅寿 a real Japanese name?

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

紅寿 has 16 strokes in total (紅: 9, 寿: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 紅寿 as a tattoo?

Each character in 紅寿 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 “Venice”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ベニス) 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.
