Giusi in Japanese

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

Our top pick is 寿詩 (Jushi). 寿 means “long life” and 詩 means “poem”. Other good options are 寿詞 (Jushi) and 寿信 (Jushi).

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

寿詩 has 20 strokes in total (寿: 7, 詩: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 寿詩 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 “Giusi”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ジュシ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
