"台湾" meaning in Japanese

See 台湾 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: [ta̠iβ̞ã̠ɴ] Forms: 台湾 [canonical] (ruby: (たい), (わん))
Etymology: Borrowed from Literary Chinese 臺灣, which came from Hokkien 大員 (Tāi-oân), 大圓, 臺員, 大灣, 臺灣, etc., a placename initially referring to a sandbank peninsula that later silted up now wholly part of the island in the area of modern-day Anping District, Tainan, and eventually became the name of the entire island. The original placename itself was likely originally a loanword transcription from possibly Siraya. Compare Dutch Tayouan, Mandarin 臺灣 /台湾 (Táiwān).
