I forgot Taiwan! My apologies. There goes the origin of Taiwan's name: Taiwan was the name of a coastal sandbank, modern-day Anping, where the Dutch East India Company built Fort Zeelandia, the headquarters of their colony on the island. The name may have originally referred to an aboriginal tribe in the area. The present Chinese name conveys the meaning "Terraced Bay".
