Etymology

Phono-semantic matching of Manchu ᠮᠠᠨᠵᡠ (manju).

It was originally the name for the Manchu people and not a geographical term, as stated by the Qianlong Emperor in the Researches on Manchu Origins [1777]. Its later usage as a geographical term (i.e. as Manchuria) was influenced by Japanese (まん)(しゅう) (Manshū) and Western languages.
