Cathay

The name that was given to northern China by Marco Polo

Former name for China, especially northern China. The word is derived from Khitay, the name of a seminomadic people who dominated northern China in the 10th-12th century. By the time of Genghis Khan, the Mongols had begun referring to northern China as Kitai (still the Russian word for China). The name may have been introduced to Europe by returning Franciscan friars 1254, but it was Marco Polo's Travels 50 years later that put Cathay's image before the European public
