エルサ
The English name Elsa is translated into Japanese as エルサ.
Did you know?
- Due to the popularity of 'Frozen', the phrase レット・イット・ゴー (Let It Go) is often more recognizable to Japanese people than the name エルサ itself.
- If you were to write the name using Kanji for artistic purposes, you would have to choose characters whose readings approximate 'e', 'ru', and 'sa', which could change the name's meaning entirely.
- Japanese speakers use the katakana script エルサ specifically for this name because it identifies the word as a foreign loanword rather than a native Japanese name.
Examples in context
- 「エルサちゃん、今日一緒に映画を見に行こうよ！」Hey Elsa, let's go watch a movie together today!
