The Chinese believed that their country was in the center of the world, so they called their country 中 国 (Zhong guo) which literally means 'middle country'. Early Chinese believed that China was the center of civilization.
The English name for China comes from the Qin (Meaning rice seedling) dynasty.
The West looked at China as Eastern Province and in Sanskrit, Eastern Province is called 'China' or china might have gotten its name from the first Emperor of China: Qin Shi-Huangdi. The word China could also be derived from chine meaning silk in French. Or it may come from Cina in Indian.
