Etymology

The noun **japonais** comes from Old French *japon*, which in turn was borrowed from Italian *giapon*. It is ultimately derived from Late Latin *Iaponia* (the Latin name for Japan), itself taken from the Greek *ἰάπων* (*Iápon*), a transliteration of the Japanese/Chinese name for the country (originally *Nippon* or *Jipōn*). The term entered French in the 13th century and has remained unchanged in spelling and meaning since.
