Suomi comes from suomu, which means fish scales.
>Red Like an Ember
Almost. Brazil literally means "embery" or "of ember". Brasa = ember; brasil = of ember.
Host of Embers = Hospedeiro da Brasa / Hospedeiro Brasil.
yeah, it it no way translates to what's in the pic
We are not Balts.
We are Finns.
Suomi means Swampland.
Suo = Swamp, Maa = land.
We are the land of swamps.
Then Swedes came and named us "Fine Land"
They tried to .be nice with you.

>Mountain City
Probably taken from the Pajeet sanskrit naming of Malay which is the corrupted and misheard of Melayar (going for sailing), despite we don't have that many mountains but highlands. The actual name where we calling ourselves are the Sailing People Land. Whoever made this didn't done your research but just from wikipedia.
