Character by character
Why it works
扬宇 (Yáng Yǔ) is an editorial Chinese given name. 扬 means to raise, to spread; 宇 means universe; eaves. The name has a bright, modern, strong feel and a male lean. It is 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 Yáng Yǔ. 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 扬宇. 扬 — to raise, to spread; 宇 — universe; eaves.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李扬宇 (Lǐ Yáng Yǔ), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
