Etymology 2
[edit]Kanji in this term |

倭 |

From Middle Chinese 倭 (MC 'wa). Various theories suggest that 倭 was influenced by Old Japanese 我 (wa, “I, me”) or referring to the practice of bowing among the ancient Japanese.
Pronunciation
[edit]Proper noun
[edit]Usage notes
[edit]During the Nara period, Japanese scholars believed that 倭 was derogatory as a name for their own country, because the Chinese word depicted a man bending down. Around 757 CE, Japan replaced 倭 with 和 (Wa), which had the same pronunciation in Old Japanese, but instead meant "harmonious".
