Character by character
Why it works
清圆 (Qīng Yuán) is a classical Chinese given name. 清 means clear, pure; 圆 means circle; round, circular; complete. It comes from Song Ci Sanbaishou (宋詞三百首) / Three Hundred Song Ci, where the text reads “蘇幕遮·燎沉香：水面清圓，一一風荷舉” — On the water's clear round leaves, the wind lifts each lotus. It is fresh and precise. It is a literary name rather than a common modern choice; check the full name aloud with your surname.
Sound
The pinyin is Qīng Yuán. 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 清圆. 清 — clear, pure; 圆 — circle; round, circular; complete.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李清圆 (Lǐ Qīng Yuán), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
