Hi Maria,

The standard Chinese transliteration for Maria is 玛丽亚 Mǎ lì yà.

The usual transliteration is already very nice. Almost perfect except for the last Chinese character.

I would change it to... 玛丽雅 Mǎ lì yǎ instead.





The traditional Chinese writing is 瑪麗雅. 玛丽雅 is the simplified form.

Let's look at the meaning of each character.

Meaning:

瑪 mǎ - This is agate or cornelian. Usually use in describing a type of beautiful jem or jade.

麗 lì - This word means beautiful.

雅 yǎ - Yǎ is elegant.

So your new Chinese name means a beautiful and elegant jade.

Hope you like it very much. Please share your beautiful new name with your friends (for example, you may share by clicking the facebook button below).
