Glenn is 格伦 (Gélún) in Chinese. To say “My name is Glenn”, say 我叫格伦 (Wǒ jiào Gélún).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 格伦 for how it sounds, Gélún, close to Glenn. On its own, 格 means square and 伦 human relationships.
Glenn is written 格伦, 2 characters: 格 (10 strokes), 伦 (6 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.
