| When learning a new language, we have the opportunity to take on a new identity. So it only makes sense that we get a new name, right? If you’re wondering how to say your name in Chinese and introduce yourself with it, just keep reading.  How to Find Your Chinese Name If you’re wondering how to say your name in Chinese, there are plenty of resources to figure it out. After learning some basics of the Chinese language and becoming more conversational, saying your name as you would in English can sound awkward and choppy. So if you need a Chinese name, here are a few tips to finally get one! Use a Chinese name tool: These online tools take your name in English and your gender to autogenerate ways to say your name in Chinese. Ask a friend or Chinese tutor to name you: If you don’t like your autogenerated name from name converters, ask a Chinese friend or your Chinese teacher to give you one! Tips for Introducing Yourself in Chinese 我叫。。。(Wǒ Jiào…) — I’m Called… One of the most common ways to give your name is by saying 我叫… followed by your first name. Please note here that you can’t say 我叫 to give your surname. That would be 我姓… (wǒ xìng…). The verb 叫 (jiào) means “to call” in Chinese, so you can use this to tell someone what you, someone or anything else is named. 我的名字叫。。。(Wǒ De Míng Zi Jiào…) — My Name Is… Another common way to introduce yourself is to extend 我叫… into 我的名字叫… The word 名字 (míng zi) means “name,” so this phrase literally means “my name is called.” We also see this word in the question 你叫什么名字? (Nǐ jiào shén me míng zi?) — What’s your name? 请问，你可以自我介绍一下吗? (Qǐng wèn, nǐ kě yǐ zì wǒ jiè shào yí xià ma?) — Excuse me, can you introduce yourself? 可以! 我的名字叫乔菲。(Kě yǐ! wǒ de míng zi jiào qiáo fēi.) — Yes! My name is Qiao Fei. 我的中文名字叫。。。(Wǒ De Zhōng Wén Míng Zi Jiào…) — My Chinese Name Is… If you want to further explain that the name you’re giving is your Chinese name, you can use the phrase 我的中文名字叫… Another great phrase to use for establishing preference is 叫我…就行/可以了, which literally means “calling me…is just fine.” 我的中文名字叫嘉莉，所以叫我嘉莉就可以了。(Wǒ de zhōng wén míng zi jiào jiā lì, suǒ yǐ jiào wǒ jiā lì jiù kě yǐ le.) — My Chinese name is Jiā Lì, so calling me Jiā Lì is fine. 我是… (Wǒ Shì) — I’m… If you want to keep it short and sweet, you can say 我是 plus your name. This is used in the same way as 我叫. 请问，你叫什么名字? (Qǐng wèn, nǐ jiào shén me míng zi?) — Excuse me, what’s your name? 我是贝拉。(Wǒ shì bèi lā.) — I’m Bèi Lā. 我姓。。。叫。。。(Wǒ Xìng…Jiào…) — My Surname Is…I’m Called… Although this might sound a bit awkward in English, this is one of the most common ways to introduce yourself in Chinese. 请问，您贵姓? (Qǐng wèn, nín guì xìng?) — Excuse me, what’s your surname? 我姓王，叫李娜。(Wǒ xìng wáng, jiào lǐ nà.) — My surname is Wang, I’m called Lǐ Nà. # Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language   # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students  # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟   Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ，200 teachers ，more 10000 students，200+companies  |
