Pronunciado como (IPA)

[ˈsiː.na]

From Ancient Greek Σῖναι (Sînai) of uncertain etymology, but possibly via Arabic صِين (Ṣīn, “China”) + -αι (-ai), from Middle Persian 𐭰𐭩𐭭 (čīn, “China”), from Sanskrit चीन (Cīna, “China”), and usually held to derive from Old Chinese 秦 (*zin, “Qin”). See "Names of China" at Wikipedia. Doublet of Sinae and Chinae.
