Chinese Greetings 4- What's your name? My name is......

There are a few ways to ask someone's name in Chinese. Unless addressing a child, people usually use a polite way to ask names or last names.
The most common way is, ni(3) jiao(4) shen(2)me ming(2)zi 你叫什么名字? This means "what's your name?", and the order in Chinese is you + be called + what + name.

When addressing someone older than you, on the phone, or to business partners, you might want to politely ask their names. What's your last name? is nin(2) gui(4) xing(4) 您贵姓?. This sentence is a polite one because of the word gui(4) 贵, which means "your" in a polite way.

Let's answer these questions. My name is........ in Chinese is wo(3) jiao(4) 我叫……. If you just want to say your last name, say wo(3) xing(4) 我姓.....

Names of foreigners are usually transliterated based on the pronunciation. Although characters are chosen for their sound and good meaning as well. Exceptions are Japanese and Korean names which already have Chinese characters that Chinese read in their own Chinese pronunciation. For example: the Japanese last name Mazda (or Matsuda) 松田 is Songtian in Chinese. Here are some examples of English names and their Chinese names with meanings.
