You’ll learn about the Celtic roots of Ireland, why Germany has so many names, how France got its name from a Germanic tribe, and why Finland is called Suomi. I also dive into cool facts like how Malta means “honey”, Austria means “Eastern realm”, and Bosnia might just mean “running water”. We cover endonyms vs exonyms, ancient tribes, mythological figures, Latin, Greek, Celtic, and Slavic roots, and even some surprising Star Wars connections. Perfect if you love linguistics, European history, etymology, or just want to know what country names really mean.
