The names of China include the many contemporary and historical appellations given in various languages to the East Asian country known as Zhongguo (/) in its native language. China, the name in English for the country, was derived from Portuguese in the 16th century, and become popular in the mid 19th century. It is believed to be a borrowing from Middle Persian, and some have traced it further back to Sanskrit. It is also generally thought that the state of Qin that later formed the Qin dynasty is the ultimate source of the name, although there are other suggestions.
Chinese names for China, aside from Zhongguo, include Zhonghua (/), Huaxia (華夏/华夏), Shenzhou (神州) and Jiuzhou (九州). Han (/) and Tang () are common names given for the Chinese ethnicity. The People's Republic of China (Zhōnghuá Rénmín Gònghéguó) and Republic of China (Zhōnghuá Mínguó) are the official names for the two contemporary sovereign states currently claiming sovereignty over the traditional area of China. "Mainland China" is used to refer to areas under the jurisdiction by the PRC usually excluding Hong Kong and Macau.
There are also names for China that are derived from the languages of other ethnic groups other than the Han; examples include "Cathay" from the Khitan language and "Tabgach" from Tuoba.
