Annam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Annam (Peaceful/Pacified South, Chinese: 安南, Hanyu pinyin: Ānnán) is the name that the Chinese gave to the land that constitutes modern-day northern Vietnam. Throughout history, Vietnam never called itself Annam, and thus it is an exonym. Because of the association with Chinese domination and subsequent French colonialism, the term "An Nam" is considered derogatory by many Vietnamese.
- Annam (Chinese Province) - the name of an old province of China, now part of modern-day Vietnam.
- Annam (French Colony) - the name of one of the French colonies in Indo-China.
- The country of Vietnam before the French conquest in the 19th century was referred to as Annam.
Annam is also the name of the Father of all Giants, according to the mythology of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.
