Who created all these names??

[DJ_UFO]

I wonder who, why and what in the world means the names of most of the countries in the world. I mean, Russia. Who created the name Russia? What in the world means Russia?, Why they named it Russia?, What is Mexico? What is Finland? Cuba?

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Venezuela means textually "little Venice"...

When Americo Vespuccio was exploring the Country, back in the 15th Century, he stumbled upon indigenous tribes who had their houses built over a lagoon... over poles, this reminded him of Venice, hence the name "Little Venice = Venezuela"

you could do better than ask a native of the Country...

Well, despite the details, what Pintoca says is really interesting. I'm pretty sure that kind of little details were the cause of those names.
And yes I'm drinking beer.

Venezuela gets its name from Venice. As in Venice, Italy. Really.

 

[Mr. dB]

[~Lexy~]

These names came from the names of people. In the olden days names of people came from the occupations they used to hold or anything peculiar associated with their way of life etc ie Shepherd, Little, Blacksmith...and so on. Some names changed spelling over time may not mean anything now.

 

[stilleto]

for me thats 15 years ago

that was last year for sublime.

It was God, it's in the bible somewhere, "and on the sixth day God told the angels to go forth and name all the countries they'd created, and the angels did complain because nobody likes working on a Saturday."

That's how it became blue ribbon, it won the blue ribbon at the chicago world fair (i reckon)...before that it was just Pabst
