The Occident refers to Western countries, particularly those in Europe and North America, characterized by a shared cultural heritage rooted in Greco-Roman traditions, Christianity, and Enlightenment ideals. In contrast, the Orient traditionally refers to Eastern countries, mainly in Asia, encompassing a diverse range of cultures, religions, and histories, including those of China, India, and the Middle East. These terms are often used to describe cultural and historical differences, though they can carry connotations of stereotypes and oversimplifications. Today, the usage of these terms is increasingly viewed as outdated and Eurocentric.

The terms have been used interchangeably since man has been trading with the Orient (East).

Possibly it was because the one sylable word "West" was easier for seamen to pronounce (and write) than the three sylabled word "Occident." A good majority of merchant seamen (minus the captain and his officers) couldn't read or write...for men like those, "West" beats "Occident" any day.
