Kristy is 克丽丝蒂 (Kèlìsīdì) in Chinese. To say “My name is Kristy”, say 我叫克丽丝蒂 (Wǒ jiào Kèlìsīdì).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 克丽丝蒂 for how it sounds, Kèlìsīdì, close to Kristy. On its own, 克 means gram, 丽 beautiful, 丝 silk and 蒂 stalk.
Kristy is written 克丽丝蒂, 4 characters: 克 (7 strokes), 丽 (7 strokes), 丝 (5 strokes), 蒂 (12 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.
