基本情報
『ジャパン』より : ジャパン(Japan)は、英語で日本の事を指す。語源はマルコ・ポーロの「世界の記述」(東方見聞録)に登場する「黄金の国・ジパング(ZIPANG・ZIPANGU)」であると言われ、ヨーロッパの言語ではここから派生した呼称を日本として使用していると言われる。
ジパング自体、当時の元 (王朝) 元における言語(中国語)で「日本国」のことをそのような発音(現在の北京語でもだいたい「ジーパングォ」となる)で呼んでいたことを表しており、何重もの間接だが、Japanも日本(当時の中国語)が語源であるといえる。
日本政府は、過去の「大日本帝国」の「日本」部分と、現在の「日本国」の公式英語名称として「JAPAN」を用いている(各種公文書、旅券の国名・国籍表示、等)が、国民の一部には自国語発音に基づく「NIPPON」(郵便切手、紙幣で長年使用)を公式英語名称にしようという意見もある。
