Why it reads this way
轩毅 (Xuān Yì) is an editorial Chinese given name. 轩 means high; windowed carriage. 毅 means resolute, decisive, firm, persist. The feel is noble, resolute, firm, leaning male. 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 Xuān Yì. 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 轩毅. 轩 — high; windowed carriage; 毅 — resolute, decisive, firm, persist.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李轩毅 (Lǐ Xuān Yì), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
