Unfortunately, I do not have the Chinese characters for the above name. Perhaps someone could supply them?
Also, how might one translate the name into English? This information would also be useful.

郚昋/尦
To translate a Chinese name from English into Chinese, you need to know the surnames that Chinese use, also you need to know which one (front or later) is surname, as it is much easier to figure out the surname than the given name.
The following web sites may help you with the surnames:

For this case of Pan Yuan, I guess Pan is the surname, which usually should be 郚, while Yuan the given name could be anything. I would use 郚尦 for a man, and 郚昋 for a woman.
However, if Yuan (逋) is the name, I would use for 逋斎a man, and 逋盼for a woman.

Although you do not have the Chinese word but at least Can you tell me what this name mean or what each word mean?
You should know a lot of Chinese word might sound the same but have totally different meaning.
