The word 'Japan' may have come from Portuguese or Dutch. Sailors, traders and missionaries from Portugal are the first Westerners to visit Japan, and they already called it Zipangu ('Zipangu') or Jipangu ('Jipangu'), because they heard that in northern China it was called 'Jihpenkuo'. According to another theory, this word comes from the Dutch "Japan" (Japan), which is taken from the word "Yatpun" (Yapun), used by the inhabitants of southern China. Since the name predates the concept of political correctness, the Portuguese and Dutch were not at all uninterested in using the Japanese words "Nippon" (Nippon) or "Nihon" (Nihon).
