黃 is the correct character for your last name of Huang.

However your given name of Mei Lin, has too many different characters. The ones you used is one such combination but there are others. So you'll have to ask your parents what characters they specifically chose for your name.

"美凜" is pronounced "mei lin" in Mandarin, and means "Beauty." If this is the characters your parents chose, your full name means "Yellow Beauty." I'm not so sure that is what they chose though.

As for going from Chinese to Japanese, that gets tricky.

As you may know, Japanese also uses Chinese characters, but has different pronunciations for them. So if you show you name written in Chinese to someone in Japan, they won't pronounce it the same way.

For instance "黃" is pronounced "ki" and "美凜" might be pronounced as "Bi kibishi" in Japanese. (I don't think that's what your parents named you because "kibishi" means lonely...so your name would be "yellow lonely beauty" in Japanese?)

They would also know it is a Chinese name but that would be about it.

In katakana:

Huang -> ホワーン (howaan)
Mei Lin -> メイ リン (mei rin)

1.凜’s Pinyin is lǐn. Although a good word, for example:凜然, it means a person with a personality of honesty, truthfulness, unflinching and gritty and follow strict discipline in behavior. But this word is rather hard to pronounce. So this word is seldom used in names.
2.From the Pinyin - Huang Mei Lin, I think you are a girl.
then 黃美玲、黃美龄、黃美鈴, etc. are all good corresponding names in Chinese
3.玲、龄、鈴 are all pronounced same.
玲: Basic meaning is delicate. For example, 八面玲瓏 means someone can deal with everything very well in every fields.
龄: Basic meaning is age. For example 妙龄 means a young and beautiful girl.
鈴: Basic meaning is bell, is commonly used in names also.
