Makayla is 米凯拉 (Mǐkǎilā) in Chinese. To say “My name is Makayla”, say 我叫米凯拉 (Wǒ jiào Mǐkǎilā).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 米凯拉 for how it sounds, Mǐkǎilā, close to Makayla. On its own, 米 means rice, 凯 triumphant and 拉 to pull.
Makayla is written 米凯拉, 3 characters: 米 (6 strokes), 凯 (8 strokes), 拉 (8 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.
