Quest Posted August 19, 2005 at 07:49 PM Report Posted August 19, 2005 at 07:49 PM Is Manchu another misnomer? I believe the word Manchu comes from 满洲, but the ethnicity, like Han汉, is just 满. So, shouldn't we call them Mans instead of Manchus? Quote
Manchu Posted August 19, 2005 at 08:19 PM Report Posted August 19, 2005 at 08:19 PM Uhh... I hope not, for my name's sake. (ba-dum bum!) I think that 'Manchu' comes from "满洲人" , but yea, I see you're point. Quote
fenlan Posted August 19, 2005 at 09:37 PM Report Posted August 19, 2005 at 09:37 PM Manchu does not come from "man3zhou1ren2", but from the Manchu word for Manchu - manju. The Manchu for Manchuria is "manju gurun". Quote
