How do you say Gavin in Chinese?
The name Gavin is written as加文 in Chinese. This is read as "jiāwén".The pronunciation is a little hard to explain.

The first and last letters ('w' and 'n') are basically the same as English, but the 'é' should be pronounced like the 'i' in 'stir'. This part should be pronounced with a rising tone (like asking a question).
