Kingdom of Cambodia
Cambodia is the traditional English transliteration, taken from
the French Cambodge, while Kampuchea is the direct
transliteration, more faithful to the Khmer pronunciation. The
Khmer Kampuchea is derived from the ancient Khmer kingdom
of Kambuja (Kambujadesa). Kambuja or Kamboja is the
ancient Sanskrit name of the Kambojas, an early tribe of north
India, named after their founder Kambu Svayambhuva, believed to
be a variant of Cambyses.
