Colton is written 科尔顿, 3 characters: 科 (9 strokes), 尔 (5 strokes), 顿 (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.
