Japan
[Oost-Aziatisch land]
datering: 1613 (1601-1650)
etymologie: OED: Like the other European forms (Du., Ger., Da., Sw. Japan, F., Sp. Japon, Pg. Japão, It. Giappone, app. ad. Malay JPpung, Japang, ad. Chinese Jih-pEn (= Japanese Ni-pon), ‘sun-rise’, ‘orient’, f. jih (Jap. ni) sun + pEn (Jap. pon, hon) origin. The earliest form in which the Chinese name reached Europe was app. in Marco Polo's Chipangu, in Pigafetta Cipanghu. The existing forms represent Pg. Japão and Du. Japan, ‘acquired from the traders at Malacca in the Malay forms’ (Yule).] 1613 J. Saris Voy. to Japan (Hakl. Soc.) 1, January 14, 1612+we wayed out of the roade of Bantam for Japan. Hobson-Jonson: JAPAN , n.p. Mr. Giles says: "Our word is from Jeh-pun, the Dutch orthography of the Japanese Ni-pon." What the Dutch have to do with the matter is hard to see. ["Our word 'Japan' and the Japanese Nihon or Nippon, are alike corruptions of Jihpen, the Chinese pronunciation of the characters (meaning) literally 'sunorigin.'" (Chamberlain, Things Japanese, 3rd ed. 221).] A form closely resembling Japán, as we pronounce it, must have prevailed, among foreigners at least, in China as early as the 13th century; for Marco Polo calls it Chipan-gu or Jipan-ku, a name representing the Chinese Zhi-păn-Kwe ('Sunorigin-Kingdom'), the Kingdom of the Sunrise or Extreme Orient, of which the word Nipon or Niphon, used in Japan, is said to be a dialectic variation. But as there was a distinct gap in Western tradition between the 14th century and the 16th, no doubt we, or rather the Portuguese, acquired the name from the traders at Malacca, in the Malay forms, which Crawfurd gives as Jăpung and Jăpang
