Destiny is 德斯蒂妮 (Désīdìnī) in Chinese. To say “My name is Destiny”, say 我叫德斯蒂妮 (Wǒ jiào Désīdìnī).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 德斯蒂妮 for how it sounds, Désīdìnī, close to Destiny. On its own, 德 means virtue, 蒂 stalk and 妮 girl.
Destiny is written 德斯蒂妮, 4 characters: 德 (15 strokes), 斯 (12 strokes), 蒂 (12 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.
