Cathay
A name affectionately remembered from the time of Marco Polo who gave us our first romanticized images of the Great Cathay. To this day many have differing tales to tell and for me Cathay is China.
The great Middle Kingdom - Jungguo 中國
Excerpt from the wikipedia article "Names of China".
This group of names derives from Khitan, an ethnic group that originated in Manchuria and conquered parts of Northern China. Due to long domination of Northern China by these non-Chinese conquerors, it was considered by northwestern people as the land of the Khitan. In English and in several other European languages, the name "Cathay" became widely used for all of China largely as a result of translations of the adventures of Marco Polo, which used this word for northern China.
