The word "China" is derived from Cin (چین), a Persian name for China popularized in Europe by Marco Polo.[13][14] The first recorded use in English dates from 1555.[15] In early usage, "china" as a term for porcelain was spelled differently from the name of the country, the two words being derived from separate Persian words.[16] Both these words are derived from the Sanskrit word Cīna (चीन),[16] used as a name for China as early as AD 150.[17]
