Tips

memory
(Sū) + (lì) + (wén) approximates 'Su-li-wen' → Sullivan. The Taiwan rendering is the same. Note that Pixar's 'Sulley' Sullivan from 《怪兽电力公司》 (Monsters, Inc.) is a common pop-culture anchor for this name in Mandarin subtitles, alongside historical figures like architect Louis Sullivan.
usage
Multiple transliterations exist: 苏利文, 苏利, and 沙利 (more common in mainland news for political figures, e.g., U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan). 苏利文 is the form you most often see in subtitles.
