Qin
xin
Most likely from the name of the Qin Dynasty, which ruled China during the 3rd Century BC.
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 Cīnāand 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 Zhōngguó , which is usually translated as "Middle Kingdom."
The name China is derived from the Qin dynasty (221-206 B.C.E.) which was named after it's founder, Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi.The Chinese name for China Zhongguo means Middle Kingdom and was used because the ancient Chinese thought that China was the center of all civilization.
The Yizhoushu, which was a chronicle of the Western Zhou dynasty (1046-771 BCE) gives the first Chinese name for the South China Sea as Nanfang Hai.
