Anne is 安妮 (Ānnī) in Chinese. To say “My name is Anne”, say 我叫安妮 (Wǒ jiào Ānnī).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 安妮 for how it sounds, Ānnī, close to Anne. On its own, 安 means safe and 妮 girl.
Anne is written 安妮, 2 characters: 安 (6 strokes), 妮 (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.
