How would you write/pronounce the Japanese version of the following Chinese name?

Question

This is the name: 陳威穎 (Chen Wei-Ying).

I've always been curious about this topic because Japanese names are written in Kanji. However, they usually have 4 characters.

So I wonder how would that Chinese name above be transformed into Japanese?

I consulted Jisho. And I'm pretty sure 陳 would become Chin.

As for 威穎, I get something not very Japanese sounding on Google Translate: Gi Ei (at least, when referring to Japanese names).

However on Jisho I get:

たけし 【威】 Given name, gender not specified 1. Takeshi​

さとし 【穎】 Male given name 1. Satoshi​

So I'm very confused. What the Japanese version of the name is supposed to be? At least, the Japanese-sounding version?

(I'm a bit new to this site so I'm not sure if this question is off-topic. If it is, Sumimasen.)

Answer 1

You could transcribe it using the on'yomi reading of the kanji characters:

陳威穎 => ちん・い・えい (chin i ei)

Examples for each character: 陳舜臣, and 威海市, and 張穎

Since on'yomi is an approximation of the original Chinese pronunciation, this is what's usually done for translating names.

If you want to create a "Japanese sounding" name, you could adapt the given name as:

威穎 => たけひで (takehide)

Like the pronunciation in 林威宏 or 山崎一穎.
