The names of Da Huang include the many contemporary and historical appellations given in various languages for the Southeast Ochran nation known as Dà Huáng (大黄; lit. "Great Yellow") in its national language, Standard Pūrvī. Jinae, the name in Latin for the country, was derived from Mutli in the 16th century and became the de facto common name in the West in the subsequent centuries. Its origin is believed to be derived from the Scipio-Latinic word, Jiña, which is traced further back to the Uthire word, Jindā (जिन्दा). The general acceptance for the ultimate source of the name Jinae is the Jin word "Jīn" (Jin: 金), the dynasty's name that unified the Jin peninsular in the 3rd century BCE. There are, however, other alternative suggestions for the origin of the word.
