Jiading District[lower-alpha 1] or Qieding District[2] (Chinese: 茄è£å€; Hanyu Pinyin: JiÄdìng QÅ«; Tongyong Pinyin: Jiadìng Cyu; PeÌh-Åe-jÄ«: Ka-tiÄâ¿-khu) is a coastal suburban district in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan.
Name and pronunciation
Etymology
There are two theories as the origin of the name Jiading or èŒ„è£ in Chinese characters. One is that it is named for a type of local mangrove. The other is that it derived from a Makattao aboriginal name, written as "Cattia" or "Cattea" by Europeans, meaning "place of many fish" (literally "ten fish"). This was then rendered as Ka-tiaâ¿-á (茄è£ä»”) in Taiwanese Hokkien and also written with the characters Ka-tiÄâ¿ (茄è£) or Ka-têng (茄藤) with both sets of characters also referring to types of Avicennia mangrove (cf. 海茄苳, 海茄朾).
Pronunciation and Romanization
The first Chinese character of the name Jiading, 茄 can be read in Mandarin Chinese as jiÄ or qié (in Taiwanese Hokkien, ka and kiô respectively) depending on context. Traditionally, the name was and still is pronounced Ka-tiÄâ¿ in Taiwanese and, following the Kuomintang takeover of Taiwan in 1945, JÄ«adìng (Zhuyin Fuhao: ã„ㄧㄚ ㄉㄧㄥˋ) in Mandarin. This name was Romanized as Chiating in Wade-Giles, the system used for transliterating Taiwanese place names from 1945 until the 1990s. The later MPS II and Tongyong Pinyin used Jiading. Street signs and signs on the district office and the local elementary and junior high schools Romanize the name as Jiading.
However outside of Jiading, the pronunciation of Qiédìng (Zhuyin Fuhao: ㄑㄧã„ˊㄉㄧㄥˋ) in Mandarin is common. Buses from Kaohsiung and Tainan have the name Romanized with the non-standard "Chieding". With the adoption of Hanyu Pinyin for Taiwanese place names in 2009, the name was officially rendered as Qieding by the Ministry of the Interior. The Ministry of Education's Taiwanese Romanization System uses "Katiann". The district's website uses several non-standard spellings including "Cieding",[3] "Cheting",[4] and "Chieting".[5]
