Map of What Every Country’s Name Means.

by u/DarkEnergy9

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.”
