Linguistic origin of European country names

FEKETE BIKA

this cant be true because Germany is blue but thats only because we call them the Latin name after the Germanii tribes. Its definitely what the countries call themselves.

i'm sure finland is koreanic.

*correction: Germany should NOT be blue because its name in English refers to the latin name of the Germanii people

Gaul got cucked hard

Germania comes from the name a germanic tribe called themselves though.

"Germania" likely wasn't a native Latin term though. Most linguists think it's either a Germanic or Celtic loanword, I went for the former.

Montenegro call itself Crno Gora or something like that, not italian

>italians note down how the people call themselves
>this is a word with italian origin now

we speak turkic language tho

Considering the following:

Etimology and linguistics are a meme study based on feelings.

Comes from the Carthaginians.

proud to be part of the germanic country name sphere, as far away from you as possible

iberian peninsula was one big home for european jews.

coping namelet

Finland wouldn't be blue then

Yes, and Hungary wouldn't be orange or Montenegro red. I did use the English names.

I am not mad at all, but by your logic Hungary can be uncertain/Turkic/Italic

Spain was named by the romans fkin degenerate

nice try Hannibal Shekelberg

Phoenician word that was borrowed by the Greeks, and later made its way into the Latin language, so Semitic origin. Are you ashamed of it? Why?

muhmmad pls

Nobody actually knows it could have been the romans, the phoenicians, the basques, the celtiberians...

just like your mums pussy

It could mean land of rabbits in phoenician (semitic) or northern shore in punic (semitic as well)

>Azerbaijan
>Iranic

We are Turkic

don't they have google in spain?
en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Hispania#Latin

>The Renaissance scholar Antonio de Nebrija proposed that the word Hispania evolved from the Iberian word Hispalis, meaning "city of the western world".

>en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Hispania#Latin
The origin of the word Hispania is much disputed and the evidence for the various speculations are based merely upon what are at best mere resemblances, likely to be accidental, and suspect supporting evidence. One theory holds it to be of Punic derivation, from the Phoenician language of colonizing Carthage.[1] Specifically, it may derive from a Punic cognate of Hebrew אי-שפניא (i-shfania) meaning "island of the hyrax" or "island of the hare" or "island of the rabbit" (Phoenician-Punic and Hebrew are both Canaanite languages and therefore closely related to each other).[2] Some Roman coins of the Emperor Hadrian, born in Hispania, depict Hispania and a rabbit. Others derive the word from Phoenician span, meaning "hidden", and make it indicate "a hidden", that is, "a remote", or "far-distant land".[3]

Another theory, proposed by the etymologist Eric Partridge in his work Origins, is that it is of Iberian derivation and that it is to be found in the pre-Roman name for Seville, Hispalis, which strongly hints at an ancient name for the country of *Hispa, an Iberian or Celtic root whose meaning is now lost. Isidore of Sevilla considered Hispania derived from Hispalis.[4] Hispalis may alternatively derive from Heliopolis (Greek for "city of the sun"). According to Manuel Pellicer Catalán, the name derives from Phoenician Spal "lowland",[5][6] rendering this explanation of Hispania dubious. Occasionally Hispania was called Hesperia Ultima, "the last western land" in Greek, by Roman writers, since the name Hesperia had already been used by the Greeks to indicate the Italian peninsula.

Another theory holds that the name derives from Ezpanna, the Basque word for "border" or "edge", thus meaning the farthest area or place.

>Hispania may derive from the poetic use of the term Hesperia, reflecting the Greek perception of Italy as a "western land" or "land of the setting sun" (Hesperia, Ἑσπερία in Greek) and Spain, being still further west, as Hesperia ultima.[24]

spain having a basque or celtiberian root sounds like wishful thinking to me, as said "hispania" was a greek word before being borrowed by the romans, so from a geographical pov the phoenician and hebrew etymologies are the most likely

No one knows the meaning or the root.

if we're speaking in terms of probability though, not all etymologies are equal
I think the phoenician etymology is very credible and most linguists apparently agree

Yeah, not arguing against that. Spain really is full to the roof with Hares and Boars.

"Aestiorum gentes" (Tacitus)
Other tribes called us Aesti or Estland. We just called ourselves "maarahvas". The word "Eesti" originates from foreigners.

>Basque country isn't basque

Euskadi is Basque.

Yeah no shit, but the map doesn't even show Basque for the Basque region.

The name's etymon is Iranic.
This map is about toponymycal etymologies.

T-tesóm...

WHAT DO YOU MEAN UNCERTAIN? HUH?

Yes but your country's name is Iranic.

It's not a country brainlet.

Georgia is but it also has Iranic roots. We call ourselves Sakartvelo - "Land of Kartvelians" and it's origins are unknown.

Actually Rus was a germanic tribe

Neither Croatia nor Hrvatska is considered to be of

>t. idiot

>The exact origin and meaning of the ethnonym Hrvat (Proto-Slavic *Xъrvátъ[3][4]) is poorly known and still subject to scientific disagreement.[5] It is believed that the word might not be of native Slavic lexical stock, but a borrowing.[6][7]
