>The suffix -co is the Nahuatl locative, making the word a place name. Beyond that, the etymology is uncertain. It has been suggested that it is derived from Mextli or Mēxihtli, a secret name for the god of war and patron of the Mexica, Huitzilopochtli, in which case Mēxihco means "Place where Huitzilopochtli lives".
>Another hypothesis suggests that Mēxihco derives from a portmanteau of the Nahuatl words for "Moon" (Mētztli) and navel (xīctli). This meaning ("Place at the Center of the Moon") might refer to Tenochtitlan's position in the middle of Lake Texcoco. The system of interconnected lakes, of which Texcoco formed the center, had the form of a rabbit, which the Mesoamericans pareidolically associated with the Moon.
>Still another hypothesis suggests that the word is derived from Mēctli, the goddess of maguey.

The second hypothesis is the one most people know about and therefore most "accepted" one.

Watch it, Poland

There are a couple of names of my cunt.

>India
The English term is from Greek Ἰνδία(Indía), via Latin India. Indía in Koine Greek denoted the region beyond the Indus(Ἰνδός) river in the Indian Subcontinent, since Herodotus(5th century BC) ἡ Ἰνδιkή χώρη, hē Indikē chōrē; "the Indian land", Ἰνδός, Indos, "an Indian", from Old Persian Hinduš and listed as a conquered territory by Darius I in the Persepolis terrace inscription). The name is derived ultimately from Sindhu, the Sanskrit name of the river, but also meaning "river" generically.

>Bharat
The designation Bhārata appears in the official Sanskrit name of the country, Bhārata Gaṇarājya. The name is derived from the ancient Hindu Puranas, which refer to the land that comprises India as Bhāratavarṣa(Sanskrit: भारतवर्ष, lit. country of Bharata) and uses this term to distinguish it from other varṣas or continents. For example, the Vayu Purana says "he who conquers the whole of Bhāratavarṣa is celebrated as a samrāt (Vayu Purana 45, 86)." The Sanskrit word bhārata is a vṛddhi derivation of Bharata, which was originally an epithet of Agni. The term is a verbal noun of the Sanskrit root bhr-, "to bear / to carry", with a literal meaning of to be maintained(of fire). The root bhr is cognate with the English verb to bear and Latin ferō. This term also means "one who is engaged in search for knowledge".

>Hindustan
The name Hind(Persian: هند) is derived from the Iranian languages equivalent of Indo-Aryan Sindh. The Persian language -stān means "country" or "land" (cognate to Sanskrit sthāna "place, land").

And the final we wuz version
>Aryavarta
Āryāvarta (Sanskrit: आर्यावर्त, abode of Aryans) is a name for North India, where the culture of the Indo-Aryans was based, in classical Sanskrit literature.

>>68105037
I've also heard something about a mythical ancient king named Nor.

Besides, there apparently never was a "ð" in the name, which would discredit the "pathway towards the north" theory…

>>68105037
>>68108382
I read an article about it, and another argument in favour of "nór" ("fjord") and not "norðr" (north) is the oldest poetry, which rhymes it with long vowels, and not short. Which is a strong argument against "norðr", because that would require breaking the strict rules for rhyme, which they never did.
(o is a short o, ó is a long o)

now here the thing gets complicated:
some say it's "Payagua-y" = river of the Payagua tribe who were living there,
other say it's "para-gua-y" = river that comes from a big sea of trees (the swamp known as Pantanal),
other even argue it's "para-gua'a-y" = river of crown (gua'a = macaw, and para = feather warbonnet)
the second version is the most popular here and in Brazil, but for some reason redditors used the third version at that shit map that i didn't even bother to save. look it up if you dare

"Słowianie" (Slavs) comes form "słowo" (word) or "sława" (glory). Doesn't matter form which exactly because these words are basically the same word (both come from the same root "slyt" (to hear)). So Slavs are the people you hear a lot about, i.e the people there are many words spoken about, i.e people of words, i.e glorious.

>Serbia would be Thrallbia
Serbia is not equivalent of Slovenia/Slovakia. It doesn't come from "Slovane".

And BTW we don't call ourselves "Slavs" because you call us like that. It's you who use latinized/germanized version of our word.

Thank you for the link anon

>Turkish source being valid for anything Turk-related

According to Turks, you are ancient Hittites mixed with friendly Turkic tribes who liberated Byzantium from a 3,000 year occupation by Greeks, would never so much touch a Chrsitan girl or child, and particularly not Greeks or Armenians, some of whom just happened to disappear during an all-expense paid trip to Syria in 1915-1918

In times before the roman conquest we were known as Iberia by the greeks and Hispania by the romans
The ñ was invented by medieval scribes to shorten words to save ink, and its how we went from the Latin Hispania to "España". Influenced many others Latin words in their evolution here too

Bundesrepublik Deutschland
Bund - union
Republik - republic
Deutschland - Pretty much land of the Germans but this isn't very true as if we are just the remainders of the small german Reich Bismarck created with Prussia as the leading power

>>68106616
English is the only Germanic language that doesn't know a word for Reich anymore. Swedish has rik, I think in Dutch it is called rijk. I don't think the word empire fits as a translation The English called the state of 1871 Empire because we had a kaiser - emperor. I would say it means something like the dominion were someone rules and is more used for monarchies but the Weimar Republic and thirt Reich sticked to the term because of tradition

-guay is kinda like the germanic suffix -land or the persian -stan.
