About

The Chinese word "迈克尔" is formed by phonetically transliterating the English name "Michael" into Mandarin, using characters chosen solely for their sound: "迈" (mài) approximates the "Mi" syllable, "克" (kè) approximates the "chael" or "k" sound, and "尔" (ěr) approximates the "el" ending, creating a pronunciation that mimics the original name.
