Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 克里斯汀 for how it sounds, Kèlǐsītīng, close to Kristine. On its own, 克 means gram and 里 inside.
Kristine is written 克里斯汀, 4 characters: 克 (7 strokes), 里 (7 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.
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.
