Funan was the name given by Chinese cartographers or land surveyors, geographers, historians, and writers to an early (an ancient) Indianised state or, rather an unconfined network of states ( Mandala)—located in mainland Southeast Asia centered on the Mekong Delta that existed from the primary to sixth century CE. The name is found in Chinese historical texts describing the dominion, and therefore the most extensive descriptions have largely supported the report of two Chinese diplomats, Kang Tai and Zhu Ying. These two Chinese envoys were representing the Wu Kingdom of Nanking who lived in Funan within the mid-3rd century AD.
Funan is understood within the modern languages of the region as Vnom ( Khmer) or Nokor Phnom ( Khmer), ( Thai), and (Vietnamese), however, the name Funan isn't found in any texts of local or native emergence from the aggregate, and it's not known what name the people of Funan gave to their polity. Some modern intellectuals argued that ancient Chinese academic or scholars deciphered the word Funan from a word which is affiliated or associated with the Khmer word bnaṃ or vnaṃ (modern: phnoṃ, meaning "mountain"), others, however, thought that Funan might not be a paraphrased in minimum, rather it meant what it says in Chinese, meaning something like "Pacified South".
