Anyone know the origin of the term "China" came from?

Question

From when and why this name "China" was created?

Answer 1

Emperor Chin (Actually spelled "Qin" in modern times)

--------------------------------
English and many other languages use various forms of the name "China" and the prefix "Sino-" or "Sin-". These forms are thought to be probably derived from the name of the Qin Dynasty that first unified the country (221-206 BCE).[4] The Qin originated from a small warring tribe located in the Shanxi region, while the ethnic Han Chinese originated from the east branch of the Yellow River; this difference in ethnicity makes "China" a misnomer. The Qin Dynasty unified the written language in China and gave the supreme ruler of China the title of "Emperor" instead of "King," thus the subsequent Silk Road traders might have identified themselves by that name.

Answer 2

China was created by Confuscius, who was the wisest man to ever live and the creator of the Chinese people. Confuscious came to the land of China on the back of a giant eagle and populated the land with people as wise as he so they could some day rule the world.

Answer 3

Do you mean china, as in a china teacup???

Well, that china came from China, the country. Back in the day, they made the finest porcelain and traded it across the Silk Road... so, Europeans called this porcelain, "china" because it came from China.

Answer 4

The name comes from the first emperor of China, Chin Shi Huangdi.
