Questions about Mehdi in Japanese

How do you write Mehdi in Japanese?

Mehdi is written メディ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Mehdi 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 メヘディ (as written in Japan).

What are the best kanji for Mehdi?

Our top pick is 芽出 (Mede). 芽 means “sprout” and 出 means “emerge”. Other good options are 明出 (Mede) and 萌出 (Mede).

Is 芽出 a real Japanese name?

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

芽出 has 13 strokes in total (芽: 8, 出: 5). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 芽出 as a tattoo?

Each character in 芽出 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 “Mehdi”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (メディ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
