In his 1492 opus "Gramática castellana" Nebrija laid down the principle that
>assi tenemos de escrivir como pronunciamos i pronunciar como escrivimos
which is why the Spanish language has constantly been kept up to date with spellings that reflect pronunciation instead of degenerating into the mess that is English.

It is in virtue of this principle (the "criterio fonetista") that the RAE updated the spelling of México to Méjico, until you guys chimped out with "muh x" and they backed down with a half-measure (allowing both spellings), but truth be told maintaining these fossile spellings is contrary to what has been the spirit of the language for the past 500 years.

An Endonym is a name someone calls themselves. An Exonym is a word by which other people call them. Every language has Endonyms and Exonyms.

In fact, we ourselves are sometimes known to others in a way we do not know ourselves. The endo-exo dichotomy is a daily struggle for myself in particular. I'm sure you all can relate.

Sverige, from Svear (midland Swedes) and Rike (Kingdom).

Though in B.C. we were just called Svioner which is probably just a roman bastardization.

This thread reminds me
have you noticed how there are so many different names for "Germany" depending on the language?
English Germany comes from Latin "Germannia" wich applied to a vast territory rather than a nation
Spanish Alemania comes from the Alemanni confederation of tribes, wich appeared in the downfall of the Roman Empire.

What is the name of Germany in your language?
>>
>>73003199
Allemagne
and germans are "allemands"

in normal spanish that X would sound like "sh" but its actually the same sound than the spanish "J" (strong H) since its extremelly outdated

Saksa, obviously most likely coming from saxon. Which we used to apparently trade pretty extensively in our prehistory.

The Gaul or Germannia weren't countries, just names for big territories of unorganized tribes that often killed each other. Same for Lusitania.

Lol...We call ourselves whatever the fuck we want
>As armas e os barões assinalados,
Que da ocidental praia Lusitana,
Por mares nunca de antes navegados,
Passaram ainda além da Taprobana,
Em perigos e guerras esforçados,
Mais do que prometia a força humana,
E entre gente remota edificaram
Novo Reino, que tanto sublimaram;

I'm fairly sure nobody really even knows where "Suomi" comes from. Some have guessed that it comes from the word "Suo", meaning swamp. So Suomi would mean "swamp-land" or something. But many doubt that.

Another theory is that the name comes from a proto-baltic word "zeme", which means "land".

Side note: I don't think the origin of "finn" / "finns" is that well understood either.
>>
>>73003668
this is the same kind of dumb shit that makes Portuguese people argue about Viriato being "portuguese" when Portugal didnt exist until over 1000 years later
your country was always called portugal, and before that it was called Roman Empire.

Also, the official name is Federal Republic of Brazil (Republica Federativa do Brasil), but nobody really cares for it.
Brazil used to be called Pindorama by the Pre-Columbian natives. Pindorama literally means "land of palm trees".

Btw, the name "Brazil" comes from "Pau-Brasil", a typical tree of Brazil.

Rzeczpospolita is direct translation of latin "res publica" (rzecz publiczna>pospolita)

Therefore Commonwealth is a much more accurate translation of Rzeczpospolita than Republic.

In English the distinction is made because Commonwealth usually refers to British Empire's oversea colonies, but literally speaking republic and commonwealth mean exactly the same thing.
