Wanda is 旺达 (Wàngdá) in Chinese. To say “My name is Wanda”, say 我叫旺达 (Wǒ jiào Wàngdá).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 旺达 for how it sounds, Wàngdá, close to Wanda. On its own, 旺 means prosperous and 达 to reach.
Wanda is written 旺达, 2 characters: 旺 (8 strokes), 达 (6 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.
