Tara is 塔拉 (Tǎlā) in Chinese. To say “My name is Tara”, say 我叫塔拉 (Wǒ jiào Tǎlā).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 塔拉 for how it sounds, Tǎlā, close to Tara. On its own, 塔 means pagoda and 拉 to pull.
Tara is written 塔拉, 2 characters: 塔 (12 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.
