Adriana is 阿德里安娜 (Ādélǐ'ānnà) in Chinese. To say “My name is Adriana”, say 我叫阿德里安娜 (Wǒ jiào Ādélǐ'ānnà).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 阿德里安娜 for how it sounds, Ādélǐ'ānnà, close to Adriana. On its own, 德 means virtue, 里 inside and 安 safe.
Adriana is written 阿德里安娜, 5 characters: 阿 (7 strokes), 德 (15 strokes), 里 (7 strokes), 安 (6 strokes), 娜 (9 strokes). Each is drawn stroke by stroke on this page, in the order you write it.
By sound, with characters picked for how they are said: Michael is 迈克尔 (Màikè’ěr). Newspapers, subtitles and books use one usual form for each common name.
A name made the Chinese way: a one-character family name first, then one or two characters picked for their meaning. Many learners use one in class.
It’s a starting point. Ask a Chinese speaker or teacher before you put it on anything that lasts, like a tattoo or a document.
