Why it reads this way
宜哲 (Yí Zhé) is an editorial Chinese given name. 宜 means suitable, right, fitting, proper. 哲 means wise, sagacious; wise man, sage. The feel is balanced, intellectual, polite, leaning neutral. 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 Yí Zhé. 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 宜哲. 宜 — suitable, right, fitting, proper; 哲 — wise, sagacious; wise man, sage.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李宜哲 (Lǐ Yí Zhé), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
