What do you mean ‘to translate’? Names cannot be translated. Only transliterated. This one should be spelled Khlopas or Hlopas.

Welcome to the board, chopper.

The name on the bottom is close, but without the B (a "v" sound) at the end. However, is your pronunciation in English Hlopas or Chlopas (as in "chimney")? Your Cyrillic letters are with a "KH" sound, not a "ch" sound.

Phonetically it is CLO-PAS. So it doesn't need the 'B' on the end?
i meant changed from the English alphabet into Ukrainian.
Thanks for your help, very appreciated

Follow carefully -

Ukrainian è ì ï ð á ó ( as you wrote) is Hlopas/ Khlopas in English

You wrote your name in English Chlopas , if so then in Ukrainian it is þ ì ï ð á ó

The last time you gave it as Clopas in English , so in Ukrainian it is ë ì ï ð á ó

You give different variants in English. Letter/soud 'B' on the end is incorrect ( just drop it )

Hello from Ukraine !
