The Dutch word for 'sign language' is 'gebarentaal' or 'vingerspelling' (= finger spelling).
If you want you can translate your name (or any other words) into sign language.
The pictures you see is the translation of the separate characters.

Deaf people use these characters to spell a (new) word.
Real sign language is much more complicated.
Deaf people have signs for words, feelings or sentences, etc.

"I have always thought it would be a blessing if each person could be blind and deaf for a few days during his early adult life.
Darkness would make him appreciate sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound"
