The first recorded use of the word "China" is dated 1555.[nb 1][11] It is derived from Cin, a Persian name for China popularized in Europe by Marco Polo.[11][12] In early usage, "china" as a term for porcelain was spelled differently than the name of the country, the two words being derived from separate Persian words.[13] Both these words are derived from the Sanskrit word for China, Cīna (चीन).[13] This word was first recorded in the 5th century BC in Mahābhārata,[14][15] where it refers to a "yellow-colored" barbarian tribe from the north. This tribe is conventionally identified with Qin (秦) (778 BCE – 207 BCE),[14][16] the westernmost of the Chinese kingdoms at this time, but may refer to an unknown group then inhabiting Tibet. In Latin, China was historically referred to as Sinia (hence "Sino-"), Sinae, Cathay, or Seres.
