Jill is 吉尔 (Jí'ěr) in Chinese. To say “My name is Jill”, say 我叫吉尔 (Wǒ jiào Jí'ěr).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 吉尔 for how it sounds, Jí'ěr, close to Jill. On its own, 吉 means lucky.
Jill is written 吉尔, 2 characters: 吉 (6 strokes), 尔 (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.
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.
