Questions about Friday in Japanese

How do you write Friday in Japanese?

Friday is written フライディ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Friday 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 フリデイ (spelled out).

What are the best kanji for Friday?

Our top pick is 風来出 (Furaide). 風 means “wind”, 来 means “coming” and 出 means “emerge”. Other good options are 富礼出 (Furaide) and 風礼出 (Fuuraide).

Is 風来出 a real Japanese name?

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

風来出 has 21 strokes in total (風: 9, 来: 7, 出: 5). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 風来出 as a tattoo?

Each character in 風来出 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 “Friday”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (フライディ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
