Sound

The pinyin is Zhì Yuǎn. 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 致远. 致 — to reach, to achieve; 远 — far, distant, far-reaching.”

A common full-name pattern would be 李致远 (Lǐ Zhì Yuǎn), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
