 Background Essay no. 100 | Vietnam: What's in a Name? | AskAsia.org
After the Chinese conquest of the Viets in 111 BCE, various Chinese provincial names were used--the best known of which was Annam, meaning "pacified south." The term Viet was never used when the land was under Chinese administration, but was often chosen during periods of independence.
Cochin China was used by the Portuguese to refer to the southern third of modern Vietnam, probably in order to distinguish it from the Cochin in India.
