Jade is 杰德 (Jiédé) in Chinese. To say “My name is Jade”, say 我叫杰德 (Wǒ jiào Jiédé).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 杰德 for how it sounds, Jiédé, close to Jade. On its own, 杰 means outstanding person and 德 virtue.
Jade is written 杰德, 2 characters: 杰 (8 strokes), 德 (15 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.
