The first recorded use of the word "China" is dated 1555. It is derived from Cin, a name for China popularized by Marco Polo. This word was derived via Persian from Sanskrit CÄ«nÄand ultimately from Qin Kingdom (778BC-207BC), the Westernmost of the Chinese kingdoms during the Zhou Dynasty. China was historically referred to as Sina (hence "Sino-"), Sinae, Cathay, or Ceres by Western nations. The official name of China changed with each dynasty. The common name is ZhÅngguó , which is usually translated as "Middle Kingdom."
