Wrong. It's borderland of the danes, or Dan's borderland

WRONG!

It's hard to explain the rules of Latvian language, but know that ''lat'' is the ''source'' of the word and meaning is unknown or dubious.

> 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 ī shāpān of Hebrew אׅי שָׁפָן (ī shāfān) 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]

Not him, but Argentina comes from 'argentum'... There's no word for 'river' in Argentina.

The name, literally meaning "Daehan", was derived from Samhan(삼한,三韓)
Originally, Han(한) means Big and wide, but this Han(한) is also used as a word referring to Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla (Exactly it's called Samhan)

In other words, The name of our nation is the country of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla.

Also we call our things Han(한)

Hanbok (Traditional Korean clothing)
Hanok (Traditional Korean house)
Hangul (Korean letters)
Hanbando (Korean Peninsula) etc

Lol that tells you how rich it was in the past.

Always thought Mexico's one sounded cool as fuck.

Real name of Spain should be Spania or Spany, but because Anglos hated us they named us S-pain pain.

Never truth an anglo.

We are Spania.

>Serbia.
>Land of the men.

What a chad name.

No, it tells you that when explorers sailed through there they saw people that lived in huts that hovered over the water.

It even was a German colony in 1530. Imagine...

>hovered over the water.
And why would the natives live over the water? do you mean something like Tenochtitlan? an island inside a lagoon?

Probably houses on poles. I thought the name Little Venice originated from the Orinoco delta.

Something like this (go see Fitzcarraldo if you haven't).

>South Africa.
>Beautiful southern land.

What? Isn't it just Southern Africa?

Also, what about the etymology of Africa itself? There are a lot of theories.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa#Etymology

Take note that South Africa has like 12 languages.

Suid-Afrika would be the PROPER word ans it literaly means South Africa

I think that the more plausible is this:

>Afri was a Latin name used to refer to the inhabitants of then-known northern Africa to the west of the Nile river, and in its widest sense referred to all lands south of the Mediterranean (Ancient Libya). This name seems to have originally referred to a native Libyan tribe, an ancestor of modern Berbers. The name had usually been connected with the Phoenician word ʿafar" meaning "dust", but a 1981 hypothesis has asserted that it stems from the Berber word ifri (plural ifran) meaning "cave", in reference to cave dwellers. The same word may be found in the name of the Banu Ifran from Algeria and Tripolitania, a Berber tribe originally from Yafran (also known as Ifrane) in northwestern Libya.

So it's either land of dust that would have a lot of sense or cave dwellers that I don't know if it refers to people that actually lived in caves or that were primitive.
