Endang in Japanese

Endang is written エンダング in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Endang would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

Our top pick is 縁暖宮 (Endangu). 縁 means “fate”, 暖 means “warmth” and 宮 means “shrine”. Other good options are 燕暖求 (Endangu) and 恵暖宮 (Edangu).

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 縁暖宮 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.

縁暖宮 has 38 strokes in total (縁: 15, 暖: 13, 宮: 10). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 縁暖宮 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 “Endang”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エンダング) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
