Why it reads this way
关文 (Guān Wén) is an editorial Chinese given name. 关 means frontier pass; close; relation. 文 means literature, culture, writing. The feel is literate, strategic, composed, leaning neutral. It's a literary two-character given name, so use it as a starting point and check the full name with a Chinese speaker.
Sound
The pinyin is Guān Wén. 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 关文. 关 — frontier pass; close; relation; 文 — literature, culture, writing.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李关文 (Lǐ Guān Wén), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
