Character by character
Why it works
Knowing and giving, implying sincerity.
Why it reads this way
知予 (Zhī Yǔ) is an editorial Chinese given name. 知 means to know. 予 means I, me; to give. The feel is sincere, kind, wise, leaning female. 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 Zhī 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 知予. 知 — to know; 予 — I, me; to give.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李知予 (Lǐ Zhī Yǔ), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
