Nihon and Nippon both means Japan.
Nihon and Nippon are both Japanese ways of pronunciations to read Chinese letters indicate Japan.
I consider that the sound of "Japan" for Nihon derived from Chinese way of reading of Nihon. In Chinese they pronounce Zuban. In ancient world, Nihon changed to Japan on the long way to English speaking world.

Get the Nihon mug.(adj) - Getting own3d in Japan. When you go to Japan and spend all your money on crazy expensive stuff such that you can barely afford the cost to get back home and certainly can't afford to buy gifts for friends and family or meet other subsequent life obligations.
