How to Write or Spell My Name in Chinese
Chinese names and Chinese symbols have become popular on t-shirts and banners. To write my name in Chinese or spell my name in Chinese takes a little effort, practice, and patience.
The Chinese uses characters or symbols which are different from letters in an alphabet. English words and names do not straightforwardly translate from English to Chinese. Chinese characters are used that represent the English pronunciation of a word. Characters in Chinese often have two parts. One part represents the meaning of a word and the other part represents the sound. A Chinese name is usually written with 3 characters. The last name or surname is usually the first character. The following two characters represent a person first and or middle name which in Chinese tradition is chosen by the parents or grandparents.
