Alexandra is 亚历山德拉 (Yàlìshāndélā) in Chinese. To say “My name is Alexandra”, say 我叫亚历山德拉 (Wǒ jiào Yàlìshāndélā).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 亚历山德拉 for how it sounds, Yàlìshāndélā, close to Alexandra. On its own, 亚 means Asia, 历 to go through, 山 mountain, 德 virtue and 拉 to pull.
Alexandra is written 亚历山德拉, 5 characters: 亚 (6 strokes), 历 (4 strokes), 山 (3 strokes), 德 (15 strokes), 拉 (8 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.
