日本 reads both /ni hon/ and less formally / ni-ppon/, which means 'Japan' in Japanese. 日本国 /ni hon ko ku/ literally means 'the country of Japan', which is also another way of saying the same thing.

An older way of saying Japan is "扶桑" which means "Fusō"and is today an archaic name for Japan, it comes from the Japanese pronunciation of the Ancient Chinese name for Japan "Fusang"
