Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 达斯汀 for how it sounds, Dásītīng, close to Dustin. On its own, 达 means to reach.
Dustin is written 达斯汀, 3 characters: 达 (6 strokes), 斯 (12 strokes), 汀 (5 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.
