Etymology
The name China traces back to the Qin dynasty, whose name entered Persian as Chīn and then spread into European languages through Portuguese and Latin during early trade contact with East Asia. Romanian took the word from French or Latin in the 19th century, as the country modernized its vocabulary for geography and world affairs. It is a direct borrowing, not an inherited Indo-European word, so it has no reconstructed root.
