Does your country's name have a cool etymology ?Ours means "wind people country" in georgian, hence why we are so chill.
>>200140864the People, basically
>>200140864land of rabbits
>>200140930Der volk?
>>200140974Deutsch stems from the Protogermanic *Þeudā, which is basically the same as Volk.
>>200140864We're named after some Italian nigga
>>200140864eastern realm, yeah I'm thinking based
>>200140969
>>200141105So if Austria is eastern realm, where tf is western realm?
>>200141148yo is that real?
>>200141182Technically, that would be the Spanish march aka Catalonia.

>>200140864We are swamp place (Suomi).
>Kala’alak.The etymology has been traced back to Siberian Inuit with the serinski language that used 'kalaaler' which means sorcerer/shaman (no direct translation to western culture available) or descendants of those who practise "magic", and it has been used for more than 3-4000 years.Synonyms can be found in Comparative Eskimo Dictionary (Michael Fortescue, Steven Jacobson, Lawrence Kaplan, 2010, p. 168)In nothern Alaska in Yupin, the word "kalaxté" means "qilaat" (again, no direct translation that is suitable for western culture, but it's that tiny drum you hold), and the word "kalalek" means "angakkoq" (see earlier point).In Siberia Nauskanski Yupin, the word “kalaxté” is defined as “angakkup qilaataa” (the sorcerers/shamans drum). Using these etymologies and definitions, “kalaaleq” can be defined as “angakkoq” (sorcerer, or shaman…man, I hate that term since it’s incorrect to apply it here), or “anersaaq sapingaqanngitsoq” (spirit without fear), “toornaq” (no direct translation to western culture), and has to do with practising drum dancing.Angakkoq uses his qilaat to contact spirits. ‘Qilaut’ roughly translates to ‘The ke to the spirit realm’.Kalaallit = angakkortalissuit
>>200140864we don't know what frank originally meantfolk etymology says it means "free", but that meaning came later (from the fact they didn't have to pay taxes). Some have suggested "javelin", or even "fierce" or "bold".
>>200141698To be frank, I thought it meant the throwing axe.
>>200141755"francisca" is latin and it comes from the name of the franks, not the other way
>>200141855I see. It would have been cool albeit, like how >>200141688 says his people name themselves after drums.
No it is so ancient and so timeless that the true name's origin is unknown, and that's infinitely more based
>>200141902do deutsch really just mean "people"? it's so silly
>>200140864I thought you were named after st George
>>200140864"kingdom of Swedes"(the ancient tribe, not modern nationality)>>200141471>Antique ad-hoc proposals that the word is derived from *soo-maa (literally “fen land”) or *soo-neemi (literally “fen cape”), or from *soomu (“(fish) scale”) have long been considered untenable.
>>200141930i think he's talking about kartvelia, not georgiaThey don't call themselves Georgia. I've heard it's originally a Persian exonym. "Lands of the wolves" or something
>>200141928Better than Allemagne, which is the name of just one of the tribes.
>>200141928>do deutsch really just mean "people"? it's so sillyit's an adjective from the noun*þeudō ("people, tribe") > *þiudiskaz (adjective thereof)
>>200141688Fascinating ! I love watching greenlander channels, you people are genuinely cheerful.
>>200141928It's actually pretty common cross-culturally.
>>200141902Btw 'Inuit' (plural) is Inuk (singular) means People, like Deutsch means.Kalaallit (plural) is just descendants of said """shamans"""/sorcerers that practise drum dancing to come in contact with spirits from the other realm

>>200142218very based posts, anon
>>200140864>>200142248sexo
>>200142248>From an earlier *Lētuvā, possibly from an earlier *Lietā or *Lētā with the suffix + -uva, denoting a region (see Sūduva, *Jotuva (“region of the Yotvingians”)).>Most commonly, believed to have originated from the rivulet Lietauka from Old Lithuanian *Lietavà. Its etymology is unclear, but the root liet- likely comes from Proto-Balto-Slavic *l(e/o)ʔi-, ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root *ley- (“to flow, pour, stream; to glide, slip, be slippery”), and is cognate with lietus (“rain”), lieti (“to pour”).>Popular etymologies connect it with lietus (“rain”).

Most likely? It means "Polish". As in Polish (land). It makes sense, if you get a bit speculative about origins of the population and the ethnonym.
>>200140864>Silent HillMt. Fuji and tea plantation
