Andre is 安德烈 (Āndéliè) in Chinese. To say “My name is Andre”, say 我叫安德烈 (Wǒ jiào Āndéliè).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 安德烈 for how it sounds, Āndéliè, close to Andre. On its own, 安 means safe, 德 virtue and 烈 strong.
Andre is written 安德烈, 3 characters: 安 (6 strokes), 德 (15 strokes), 烈 (10 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.
