中国
Bonnie is 邦妮 (Bāngnī) in Chinese. To say “My name is Bonnie”, say 我叫邦妮 (Wǒ jiào Bāngnī).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 邦妮 for how it sounds, Bāngnī, close to Bonnie. On its own, 邦 means country and 妮 girl.
Bonnie is written 邦妮, 2 characters: 邦 (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.
