Some redditfag sent me this map earlier today. Why would you post this here? Honestly, just go fuck yourself you stupid dickhead.

wouldnt it be more likely it originally meant "the land of the forges" since spain has always been known for its quality blacksmiths, or "the country in the west"?

We wuz baltic

How about a map of country names in their native language?

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.

>COUNTRY OF THE BLACKS (USA)

Great name, don't you think? Not like the usual "land of" + something unoriginal, like rabbits or just "Land" like the Finns

>UNITED STATES OF AMERIGOBLO

>land of people who speak the same language

Realm of the Swedes* aka Svear.

>ICELAND (Ice land)

romania is wrong its not "people from rome", its more like "Romanized People"

>country of burnt faces
Kek

RED LIKE AN EMBER!!
Brasil gets a cool name like that, it sounds like a song name.

its true, spain comes from hispania which translates to hispa (rabbit) and nia (land) in latin, the other name for the region is the greek Iberia which was named after the river Ebro which the greeks settled

The virgin mountain of whiteness vs. the chad country of the blacks

but the translations i said are also theories on the etymology of hispania
im saying "the land of rabbits" seems a bit unlikely origin compared to the others

yes?

Latest consensus doesn't support Finland's interpretation.

Un problème ?

>Land

why do some of these take the meaning of the english name and others of the name in the native language?

Land of tall people. They aren't wrong

>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.

>Sailors Island, not mountain city.
>lion hole (''Pura'' means city, but since English has short tongue, called them ''pore'' = hole)
>Indian islands topkek
>Poor Brunei. Actually it means ''New Land''

Mexico= land of children of Huitzilopochtli

hungary is correct

It's blatantly wrong.

Brazil is wrong.
It would be just ember, as Brazil cames from "brasa*

Franc = Lance (Spear)
it's the literal meaning of the word franc/frank

Soubtfull.

Netherlands is obviously correct

Most of this, if not all of this, is blatantly wrong.

In the Navel of the Moon sounds like a sci-fi novel

>Source: CIA
>Literally the first shit they found in wikipedia articles
Cringe. Also the name is actually some onomatopoeia of the sound made by a fucking bird.

>iceland
Astounding

Kek, seething just because your shithole's name is after bird.
Ours is after a BVLL who was actually someone important in history and not a bird who shits on everything
