i very much like how "martin" is translated into chinese:

马丁 not only captures the english sounds somewhat reasonably, but it also surprisingly captures the meaning in an interesting way: martin is based on mars, the god of war, and is also a famous figure in christian history as a roman soldier on a horse.

the chinese characters are: 马(ma): horse, and 丁(ding):soldier

you can hardly get any closer with a resemblance of the meaning in both languages.
