Destiny in Cursive

Destiny in cursive is 𝒟ℯ𝓈𝓉𝒾𝓃𝓎. The ℯ is the one character from Unicode's earlier script set. In bold script it is 𝓓𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓷𝔂.

Because destiny is also an ordinary word, the same cursive works for a quote or a tattoo as well as for a name.

Destiny has one tall letter, the t, and one letter below the line, the y. The middle, s-t-i-n, is the busy part. The s closes at the bottom and leads up into the unlooped t.

Two things need adding at the end: the t's cross and the i's dot. Do them together after the y.

Destiny comes from the word destiny, "fate", ultimately from Late Latin destinata. It is older as a name than many people expect. It appears in US census records as early as 1845.

In the US it was a top-50 girls' name from 1997 to 2008. Spelling variants include Destinee, Destiney and Destinie.

As a tattoo, destiny is often written in lowercase: 𝒹ℯ𝓈𝓉𝒾𝓃𝓎. The small d starts with an oval and a tall stem, which looks softer than the capital D. Show the cursive version to your artist as a guide. They will draw the final lettering to fit the size and placement.
