Travelling is fun, it opens horizons, gives experiences and creates memories. But while travelling have you ever thought what would the said destination mean in their own language?
Learning the etymology – the origin of words – of countries around the world offers us fascinating insight into the origins of some of our favorite travel destinations and the people who first lived there.
Credit Card Compare, an Australian website, curated a series of maps which show literal meaning of countries around the world. For example, France takes its name from a coalition of Germanic tribes, the Franks and Norway simply means ‘The Way North’, or ‘The Northern Way’, making reference to an old Viking route.
