{{zh-wp|zh|yue|lzh|gan|hak:Hiông-kóng|cdo:Hiŏng-gē̤ng|nan:Hiong-káng|wuu|en:Hong Kong}}

===Etymology===
The name {{lang|zh|香港}} first appeared on a map in {{lw|zh|粵大記}} {{defdate|1595}} as a label for an island that seems to be {{w|Ap Lei Chau}}. In the two ''{{w|Gazetteer of Xin'an County}}'' ({{lw|zh|新安縣志 (深圳市)|新安縣志}}) published in 1688 and 1819, {{lang|zh|香港}} was the name of a village (as {{zh-l|[[香港]][[村]]}}). The village was likely located in {{w|Wong Chuk Hang}} in the south of [[Hong Kong Island]] as indicated by 19th-century maps.

18th-century western maps appear to render the name of [[Hong Kong Island]] as Fan Chin Chow (or its variants), which appears to be a Hakka romanization of {{zh-l|[[飯甑]][[洲]]}} ({{zh-ref|Kwok and Cheung, 2007}}). In the ''{{w|Treaty of Nanking}}'' signed in 1842, the name {{lang|zh|香港}} referred to the entire Hong Kong Island.
