Solid as rock with robust Chinese spirit, steady and powerful.
Why it reads this way
石汉 (Shí Hàn) is an editorial Chinese given name. 石 means stone, rock, mineral; Kangxi radical 112. 汉 means Chinese people; Chinese language. The feel is solid, robust, steady, leaning male. 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 Shí Hàn. 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 石汉. 石 — stone, rock, mineral; Kangxi radical 112; 汉 — Chinese people; Chinese language.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李石汉 (Lǐ Shí Hàn), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
