呉 is an ancient kingdom in china, how did it become "to give" in japanese? I found in the Chinese dictionary that is the name of a kingdom. But in japanese it means "to give". How did it happen ? Thanks a lot

The use ofin[]{}is an Ateji (kanji that are used phonetically, disregarding its meaning).was used because[]{}was a way to say "China", derived from a Japanese word for sunset ([]{}; China being west of Japan).

Note,is not a common spelling anymore.
