Is Japan Nihon or Nippon? 🇯🇵 Origin of the word Japan in Japanese: 日本!
Japan is one of the few countries that has two names in its own language: Nihon （日本） and Nippon (日本). But which one is correct? In this video I explain a little about these name differences through their origin, history and etymology: Nihon and Nippon have a good history of documented use! The Japanese themselves have tried to keep only Nippon and ban Nihon, but it never worked!
