Oceania
大洋洲 is the Chinese name for Oceania (sometimes called Oceanica).
The geographical, often geopolitical, region consisting of numerous lands - mostly islands and usually including Australia. Basically, Oceania includes the Pacific Ocean and surrounding area.
Oceania
オシアニア is the name Oceania in Japanese (Katakana).
Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
Fiji
This is the Chinese name for the country of Fiji.
Nauru
This is the Chinese name for the country of Nauru.
Tonga
This is the Chinese name for the country of Tonga.
While this is the name of that south Pacific archipelago kingdom in Chinese, it does not mean the same in Japanese...
In Japanese, this is a female given name Yuka. There are several female names that romanize as Yuka, so be sure you get the right one.
Samoa
薩摩亞 is the Chinese name for the country of Samoa (formerly known as Western Samoa).
The official name is the Independent State of Samoa. Not to be confused with American Somoa which is to the southeast.
Tuvalu
This is the Chinese name for the country of Tuvalu.
Norfolk Island
諾福克島 is the Chinese name for Norfolk Island.
Note: Sometimes written with one more character that means “ocean” making it Norfolk Ocean Island in Chinese.
Vanuatu
This is the Chinese name for the country of Vanuatu.
American Samoa
This is the Chinese name for the territory of American Samoa (formerly known as Eastern Samoa).
This should not be confused with Independent Somoa which is to the west.
If you want just a general “Samoa” title, just use the plain “Samoa” entry, as it does not actually designate western, eastern, American, or independent.
Martinique
This is the Chinese name for Martinique (overseas department of France).
Solomon Islands
This is the Chinese name for the country of Solomon Islands.
New Zealand
This is the Chinese name used in Mainland China for the country of New Zealand.
Note: There are two common titles for New Zealand. Just the first character changes but you might see the other title in Taiwan and Singapore.
Japanese note: This is an archaic way to write New Zealand in Japanese Kanji. In modern times,
it’s
written ニュージーランド (same pronunciation but using Katakana characters).
