The older Chinese name for this plant is 銀果, meaning "silver fruit", pronounced ''yínguǒ'' in Mandarin or ''Ngan-gwo'' in Cantonese. The current commonly used names are 白果 ({{transliteration|zh|bái guǒ}}), meaning "white fruit", and {{lang|zh|銀杏}} ({{transliteration|zh|yínxìng}}), meaning "silver [[apricot]]". The name 銀杏 was borrowed in [[Japanese language|Japanese]] イチョウ ({{transliteration|ja|ichou}}) or ぎんなん ({{transliteration|ja|ginnan}}) and [[Korean language|Korean]] 은행 ({{transliteration|ko|eunhaeng}}), when the tree was introduced from [[China]].
