मंचूरिया

• मंचुरिया (mañcuriyā)

Borrowed from English Manchuria, ultimately from Manchu ᠮᠠᠨᠵᡠ (manju).

Ultimate origin unknown. According to official histories from the Qing dynasty, Nurhaci, a military leader of the Jurchens of Northeast China and founder of what became the Qing dynasty, named his tribe after Sanskrit मञ्जुश्री (mañjuśrī, “Manjushri”) as the Manchus. The name is from मञ्जु (mañju, “gentle”) + श्री (śrī, “glory”). Also compare Chinese 文殊 (Wénshū, “Manjushri”).

Some other theories exist; see 满族 on the Chinese Wikipedia.Wikipedia ^zh
