The word "China" has been used in English since the 16th century; however, it was not a word used by the Chinese themselves during this period. Its origin has been traced through Portuguese, Malay, and Persian back to the Sanskrit word Cīna, used in ancient India.[15] "China" appears in Richard Eden's 1555 translation[o] of the 1516 journal of the Portuguese explorer Duarte Barbosa.[p][15] Barbosa's usage was derived from Persian Chīn (چین), which was in turn derived from Sanskrit Cīna (चीन).[20] Cīna was first used in early Hindu scripture, including the Mahābhārata (5th century BCE) and the Laws of Manu (2nd century BCE).[21] In 1655, Martino Martini suggested that the word China is derived ultimately from the name of the Qin dynasty (221–206 BCE).[22][21] Although usage in Indian sources precedes this dynasty, this derivation is still given in various sources.[23] The origin of the Sanskrit word is a matter of debate, according to the Oxford English Dictionary
中国 "一词自 16 世纪开始在英语中使用，但在此期间，中国人自己并不使用该词。其起源可通过葡萄牙语、马来语和波斯语追溯到古印度使用的梵语 Cīna。"中国 "一词出现在理查德-伊登 1555 年对葡萄牙探险家杜阿尔特-巴尔博萨 1516 年日记的翻译中。巴博萨的用法源自波斯语 Chīn（چین），而波斯语 Chīn 又源自梵语 Cīna（चीन）。Cīna最早出现在早期的印度教经文中，包括《摩诃婆罗多》（Mahābhārata，公元前5世纪）和《摩奴律》（Laws of Manu，公元前2世纪）。1655 年，马蒂诺-马蒂尼提出，"中国 "一词最终源于秦朝（公元前 221-206 年）的名称。虽然在印度的资料中，该词的使用早于秦朝，但各种资料中仍有这一引申义。根据《牛津英语词典》，这个梵语单词的起源尚存在争议。 |
