- Vietnam
The name Vietnam was used officially by Emperor Gia Long between 1804 and 1813, during the early years of the Nguyễn dynasty he founded in 1802.
Passages state that between 1804 and 1813 the name Vietnam was used officially by Emperor Gia Long. This period of official usage followed his 1802 establishment of the Nguyễn dynasty and his coronation at Huế on 1 June 1802. The passages do not specify an exact date of change within 1804, so the development is dated only as a range, and no passage identifies the site of the renaming.
