The confusion comes from your lack of knowledge.
Nippon is one pronunciation, Nihon is another, they're both acceptable pronunciations. They use the same Kanji 日本 - the difference is just how you say them.
>a recent survey showed that 61 percent of Japanese people read it as “Nihon” while only 37 percent said “Nippon.“ The results also showed that “Nihon” was much more prevalent among younger people too. So while it would seem “Nippon” has seniority, “Nihon” has the popular vote.
In some cases, Nippon is used more often than Nihon
Nippon Yūbin, Nippon Yūsei (Japan Post Group)
Ganbare Nippon! (A sporting cheer used at international sporting events, roughly, 'do your best, Japan!')
Zen Nippon Kūyu Kabushiki-gaisha (All Nippon Airways)
Nipponbashi (日本橋) (a shopping district in Osaka)
Nippon Kōgaku Kōgyō Kabushikigaisha (Japan Optical Industries Co. Ltd., (also called Nippon Kōgaku) which is known since 1988 as the Nikon Corporation since the Nikon brand name was used on its camera product line)
Nihon is used always or most often in the following constructions:[14]
JR Higashi-Nihon (East Japan Railway, JR Group)
Nihonbashi (日本橋) (a bridge in Tokyo)
Nihon Daigaku (Nihon University)[15]
Nihon-go (Japanese language)
Nihon-jin (Japanese people)[12]
Nihon-kai (Sea of Japan)[16]
Nihon Kōkū (Japan Airlines)
Nihon-shoki (an old history book, never Nippon shoki)[17]

Japanese kanji usually has two pronunciation, one closer to original Chinese character pronunciation and another more local Japanese one.

Nippon takes more energy to say.
Nihon is for the lazy tongue, though you can say it sounds better

I wonder how those 2% say it
Gabriel Morales
probably it was just "don't know", "it depends", "refused to answer", etc., all voluntary answers
Brandon Fisher
maybe OP was asking how did the Japanese ended up with two pronunciations of the same word, if someone is wondering it's basically a phonological change from /p/ to /f/ to /h/

It doesn't matter how you pronounce, what matters is that is that Japan isn't white and therefore must be destroyed
David Ross
Go-on: ほん (hon, Jōyō)
Kan-on: ほん (hon, Jōyō)
its Chinese origin
about pon though i can only think of 根本 witch pronounce 本 as pon, and the word 根本 i believe is also chinese origin
funny hpw the more you know about japanese the more you see how heavy influenced by chinese yet they claim not to be in the sino cultural sphere
Kevin Garcia
you motherfucker with african accent
Michael Fisher
yeah but there can be multiple onyomi like ~人 can be read にん or じん, or 正 as in 不正 (ふせい) and 正直 (しょうじき)
