Kerry is 克里 (Kèlǐ) in Chinese. To say “My name is Kerry”, say 我叫克里 (Wǒ jiào Kèlǐ).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 克里 for how it sounds, Kèlǐ, close to Kerry. On its own, 克 means gram and 里 inside.
Kerry is written 克里, 2 characters: 克 (7 strokes), 里 (7 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.
