Russian names in Chinese

Did you know that your name will sound different in Chinese?

The fact is that the Chinese alter any word to suit their language. This is due both to the system of hieroglyphs, and to the fact that not all the sounds familiar to us are in the Chinese language.

Are there examples of translation of Russian names into Chinese?

Consider the name Ivan. In Chinese, it can sound like Yanwan (扬万). The word "Yan" means "raise" or "fly up", and the word "wan" (万) means "many", "thousand". It turns out that the name means "rising a thousand."

Another example is Mary. In Chinese, it sounds like Maliya (玛丽亚). The meaning of the hieroglyphs that form this name is also interesting. The word "Ma" (玛) means "jasper" or "greed". The word "Li" (丽) means "beautiful". Well, the word "I" (亚) means "that which follows something."
