[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?

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...
