Main articles: Etymology of Japan and Names of Japan

From Geppun, Marco Polo's Italian rendition of the islands' Shanghai Chinese-dialect name 日本 (pinyin: rìběn, at the time approximately jitpun), or "sun-origin", i.e. "Land of the Rising Sun", indicating Japan as lying to the east of China (where the sun rises). Also formerly known as the "Empire of the Sun".

• Nihon / Nippon: Japanese name, from the local pronunciation of the same characters as above.
