    I know in Mandarin it is called baicai and dabaicai.

    If you mean the botanical name, that should be Brassica rapa L. ssp. chinensis (L.) Hanelt and Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Hanelt.

    The English word bok choy and its variations bok choi and pak choi are derived from the Cantonese cognate, which denotes one specific variety of cabbage, namely those with white stems and dark green leaves.
