"Jiangxi" means "west of the Yangtze". The name originated, however, as a contraction of "Jiangnanxi" (江南西), which literally means "the west of the south of the Yangtze". The name was coined by the Tang Dynasty when it split "Jiangnan" ("south of the Yangtze") circuit into western and eastern halves.
