Questions about Med in Japanese

How do you write Med in Japanese?

Med is written メッド in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Med 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 メド (spelled out).

What are the best kanji for Med?

Our top pick is 芽道 (Medou). 芽 means “sprout” and 道 means “the way”. Other good options are 明道 (Medou) and 芽努 (Medo).

Is 芽道 a real Japanese name?

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

芽道 has 20 strokes in total (芽: 8, 道: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 芽道 as a tattoo?

Each character in 芽道 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 “Med”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (メッド) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
