The Russian word "China" is borrowed from the Central Asian peoples, who gave the country this name, according to one of the versions, by the name of the people of Mongolian origin - the Chinese, who in ancient times owned the northern part of China. The Western European and Middle Eastern names of China date back to the word "Chin", to the Iranian designation of the country's name, in German, Dutch, Spanish and English: China, in French: Chine, in Serbian: China. This name comes from the name of the ancient Chinese kingdom Qin.
