Character by character
Why it works
Receiving joy, always with a smile
Why it reads this way
承欢 (Chéng Huān) is an editorial Chinese given name. 承 means inherit, receive; succeed. 欢 means happy, pleased, glad; joy; enjoy. The feel is happy, welcoming, soft, leaning female. It's a curated combination rather than a classical citation, so use it as a starting point and check the full name with a Chinese speaker.
Sound
The pinyin is Chéng Huān. Say it slowly, then at normal speed. If a tone feels difficult, practice the syllable alone before putting the full name together. A Chinese speaker will usually understand an imperfect tone in context, but the closer you get, the more natural the name feels.
How to introduce it
“My Chinese name is 承欢. 承 — inherit, receive; succeed; 欢 — happy, pleased, glad; joy; enjoy.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李承欢 (Lǐ Chéng Huān), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
