Hello, I was making some simple Russian sentences. But, I'm not sure whether it's correct. Here what I just wrote;

Моё (Neuter) имя (Neuter) интерпретация (Feminine)

My name interpretation.


Is my Russian correct?

Actually, no. First, the word order is totally different in Russian. Second, there are cases. It should be: Интерпретация (subject) моего (genitive case, attribute) имени (genitive case, object).

"Моё имя интерпретация" means "My name is interpretation".

Correct form will be "интерпретация моего имени".

Russians do not speak "Интерпретация моего имени"
correct form - Значение моего имени or Мое имя обозначает, Мое имя значит,

"Интерпретация моего имени" is valid but denotes some deep digging into the meaning of the name.

But on the other hand, in English the correct form for what you imply is "The meaning of my name" - isn't it?

First of all it's not a proper sentence in either language. It's part of a sentence. What exactly do you want to say?

Secondly, I'll give you a tip for the future: if you can change the phrase so it would have OF in it but the meaning would stay just the same, that means that the words connected by OF should be in some other than in Nominative case when translated into Russian.

my name interpretation = the interpretation OF my name. So, it is not моё имя but some other case. Genitive, usually - моего имени.

Значение моего имени...
