The male name Wesley is rendered in Chinese as 韦斯利. These characters are chosen for their sound, not their meaning — together they approximate how Wesley is pronounced. In pinyin (the standard romanization of Mandarin) this reads Wéi sī lì.

Character-by-character breakdown

In Chinese, Wesley is written with 3 characters, each standing for one syllable of the sound: 韦 (Wéi), 斯 (sī), 利 (lì). Each character here is a phonetic unit — picked for how it sounds, not for what it means — so read together they echo Wesley rather than spelling out a literal meaning.
