==Etymology==
{{unreferenced section|date=September 2024}}
The name "Luoyang" originates from the city's location on the north or sunny ([[Yin and yang#Toponymy|"yang"]]) side of the [[Luo River (Henan)|Luo River]]. Since the river flows from west to east and the sun is to the south of the river, the sun always shines on the north side of the river. Luoyang has had several names over the centuries, including '''Luoyi''' ({{lang|zh|洛邑}}) and '''Luozhou''' ({{lang|zh|洛州}}), but Luoyang has been its primary name.  It has also been called '''Dongdu''' ({{lang-zh|labels=no|t=東都 |l=eastern capital}}) during the [[Tang dynasty]], '''Xijing''' ({{lang-zh|labels=no|c=西京 |l=western capital}}) during the [[Song dynasty]], or '''Jingluo''' ({{lang-zh|c=京洛|l=capital Luo}}).  During the rule of [[Wu Zetian]], the only [[empress regnant|female emperor]] in Chinese history, the city was known as '''Shendu''' ({{lang-zh|labels=no|c=神都|l=divine capital}}). Luoyang was renamed '''Henanfu''' ({{lang|zh|河南府}}) during the [[Qing dynasty]] but regained its former name in 1912.
