Etymology 1 edit

phonetic
trad. (新羅)
simp. (新罗)

First attested in the Records of the Three Kingdoms (c. 290 CE) as 斯盧斯卢 (OC *se b·raː, MC siᴇ luo) as in 斯盧國 (“Saro state”), one of the 12 statelets belonging to the Jinhan confederacy. Other old variations include 新盧新卢 (OC *siŋ b·raː, MC siɪn luo) and 斯羅斯罗 (OC *se raːl, MC siᴇ lɑ).

In Old Korean documents, those country names were equated with the name of the capital, 徐羅伐 (Syerapel, Seorabeol, modern Gyeongju), a compound of 徐羅 (syera) + (pel, village). Other variants include 徐那伐 (syenapel), 徐耶伐 (syeyapel) and 徐伐 (syepel), whence 서울 (seoul, “capital city”).[1]

(sye), the first syllable of 徐羅 is considered to mean “gold” because of 금성 (金城, geumseong, “gold castle/city/fort”), the sinicized name of the capital city (cf. (soe), “iron, metal”). The second syllable (ra) is according to one theory a connective particle,[2][3] but another theory posits that it means “land”.[4]

Hanja in this term

Proper noun edit

新羅 (Silla) (hangeul 신라)

  1. Hanja form? of 신라 (Silla).

Old Japanese edit

Etymology edit

Shiratori (1896) derived this word from Old Korean 徐羅城 (*Syera-KUY), reconstructed from 徐羅 (syera) as in 徐羅伐 (Syerapel, Seorabeol, its capital city, present day Gyeongju) or 斯羅 (MC sje la), an older name of Silla; and Old Japanese (ki2, fortress, castle) considered as borrowed from Baekje (kuy), from Goguryeo (kol(o)) and older form 溝婁沟娄 (kwurwu, OC *koː ɡ·roː/ɡ·ro, MC kəu lɨo|ləu), equated with Old Korean (pel, village).[1][2]

Aisin-Gioro (2009) proposed that there are also similar exonyms for Korea, made from the same configuration, Old Turkic 𐰲𐰇𐰞𐰍𐰞 (čölgl, Silla), Jurchen solgor (Goryeo, whence cognate with Manchu ᠰᠣᠯᡥᠣ (solho), “Korea), and borrowed as Mongolian Солго (Solgo, Korea) and Middle Mongol 莎郎合思 (Solangqas, Goryeo, whence cognate with Mongolian Солонгос (Solongos), “Korea”), as being related to *Syera-kuy, and Khitan 𘬥𘲀𘭲𘮒 (*ś ul ó úr, Silla, Goryeo) as a descendant of 徐羅伐 (Syera-pel).[3][4]

Proper noun edit

新羅 (Siraki₂) (kana しらき)

  1. Silla (ancient Korean kingdom)
    • c. 759, Man’yōshū, book 15, poem 3696:
