Map of What Every Country’s Name Means.
FIRST NOTE: This is the etymologies of the ENGLISH names of the countries, not the native names.
SECOND NOTE: There are various countries which have names that are
debated by etymologists and historians, so if you think one is wrong, it
is most likely just a different theory than the one that you know of.
Along with that, some countries have names that spread through multiple
languages, so their name meaning comes out a little wonky, like Portugal
comes from “Portus Cale”, with Portus meaning “Port of-” in Latin, but
Cale also meaning “Port” in old Celtic, leading to the conclusion that
its name technically means “Port of Port.”
