Yavana (English spelling)
|
The word was used by ancient Indians to refer to Greeks. It is said to have originated from Ionia, which changed into Sanskrit through the Persian word Yauna. It was used from around the 4th century BCE, and later came to refer to the various foreign tribes from the northwest who invaded India.

古代インド人がギリシア人をさした言葉。語源的にはイオニア Iōniaがペルシア語のヤウナ Yaunaを経て，サンスクリット語に変化して生れたといわれる。前4世紀頃から使われ，次いで北西方の異民族が多くインドに侵入すると，広くこれらの異民族をさすこともあった。
