How Did Each European Country Get Its Name

Did I get any country's meaning wrong? A few of them didn't have that much information available online

I hoped that there would be no Russian propaganda in the video, and I hoped in vain.
The fact that the word "Ukraine" comes from "Okraina" is a Russian and Soviet myth that is an attempt to erase Ukrainian history. The word "Ukraine" comes from the word "Kraina", which is present in every Slavic language, and means a country, a region. This is where the name "Ukraine" comes from, not from "borders" and "outskirts"

It is not correct 4 Ukraine , cause Ukraine was a Kievan Rus , the thought that Ukraine - is a “borderland” is a part of russian propaganda

Shity facts

No Kazakhstan, which, like Turkey, is partly in Europe?

One country never changed it's name.

Forgot kazakhstan

suomi also may come from swamp, we are the people of the swamp land

Україна - Ukraine it two words U like In and kraine means country or land - Incountry or Inland. Not fkng border of something

Rus it is Ukraine!!! And mazkovia iz mazkovia and car peter stolen that name to steal all history and belongings of Rus lands... these nendartalians is a fucking human mistake made by God...

Excuse me, but how Ukrainian lands could be a "borderland" between the Polish and RUS?? Ukrainian lands were the historical center of Rus kingdom with the capital of Kyiv since the 9th century(also i recommend to look when the city of Kyiv and Moscow were established ;) ). Modern russian land was only then then captured by kyivan rulers and soldiers. So maybe for russian lands will the word "borderlands" suit better? Btw fun fact: russia started to call itself as "russia" only in the beginning of 18th centure and only because ukrainian pope from Kyiv proposed to do so to russian tsar, while the first mention of the word "Ukrayina"-> Ukraine dates back to 1187 year. All said in this video about Ukraine is a typical example of russian propaganda which tries to steal ukrainian history and call itself "a descendant of Rus kingdom".

Belarus is not from "White Russia". It's from "White Rus"

Where is Ismail!? Ismail is a part of Ukraine!

Чувак, у тебя там на карте, кусок Украины почему-то в Молдавию убежал, а именно украинская часть Бессарабии, из которой я тебе сейчас и пишу. Ну и второе, название Украина, не происходит от слова пограничье, это ты наверное у русских "учёных" прочитал или у кого-то, кто не знает украинский язык. Если в русском языке, слово край означает границу между объектами, то в украинском, слово "край" означает местность, географическую область или страну. Буква "у" означает "внутри". То есть, если быть очень грубым, "Украина" можно перевести дословно как "внутри страны" или "внутри географической местности", а не "пограничье"😊. Если переводить ближе к общепринятому значению, то "Украина" будет означать "Своя страна".

you just googled and took the first thing for granted. You spent a lot more time animating stuff rather than researching. this is anti-historical

Baltic - comes from Lithuanian - Baltas ( means White ) . Think about Belarus ( Belyi - means White ) . Belorus in Lithuanian is - BaltaRusija (White Russia ) .
Think - Baltas + Rus .

Lithuanian name can not come from 13 century, because was already mentioned in 1009 by the St Brunon which was killed for that !

Latvia is not a Regional tribE. Latvia is Baltic triibeSSS.

Estonia is not Baltic ! Only Lithuania and Latvia is Baltic.

Fun fact: Russia stole the name of Ukraine

Luxemburg letze is related to English little: little burgh

France has Germanic not Latin origin

Belarus is not White "russia". It is White rus'.

I will personally file a report to remove this video, because what I heard about Bulgaria is complete nonsense!
When you don't know the history of the origin of a nation and a country, you better keep quiet!😡

Rus’ is not a Russian medieval state. Old Russian state is Moskovy and it has nothing to do with Rus’. Maskivy stolen the name to make themselves appear more European and civilized, while in reality they are just a bunch of cheating and stealing, lying and murdourous orks. Please don’t repeat their propaganda lies.

Slavs mean letter, word, sound. Russia means rus, rab, servant. Explore your own word orthodox, that Slavs call Pravoslavlje. Sound of correct celebration.
That is the origin of your slave word. Except that you from the west, under the influence of Rome, took it upon yourself to enslave other people. Even though Slavs only serve God and never used other people as their slaves. The meaning of our language is deeply connected to God. And those who lack of it, hate it.

There is also another land of freedom (it’s not in europe) which is USA

You should have at least tried to do the pronounciations right. "turkich", "krna gora" etc.

The interesting fact, that the old name of the land of the modern Ukraine was called Chervona Russ which means red Russia. So there were: White Russia (BelaRuss), Great Russia (VelikaRuss) and Red Russia (ChervonaRuss).
The word Ukraine had an old russian grammar feature named difftong that allows to have a double pronunciation where it presents. And the old writing of the Ukraine was Oukraina which literally and figuratively means periphery.

🎓👍

I believe France may have got their name from a tribe that migrated from Germania around the 4th century called the Franks.

Bull shit. Ruthenia or Rus' is original name of ukraine. Kraina means country and prefix 'U' means In. And moskovia in 17st after they bougth Kiyv at Polan took the name of Ruthenia on Greess language ROSSIA but they ask from anyone to call them russia. In 17st in moskovia everyone knows where is Rus'. And this vargans and varyags is a different things.

Portugal = celtic port

The correct name for Moscow-based country is Muscovy. And people are Muscovites.
Muscovites used names Княжество Московское and Великое княжество Московское (Latin: Magnus Ducatus Moscuensis) in 13.-16. century. Commonly, they were calling themself Московия (Latin: Moscovia, English: Muscovy).
Then, Ivan the Terrible and Peter I stole names Russia/Russians from Ruthenians. They wanted to have more noble name.
Muscovite "historians" fabricated a lot of "historical" documents in 18.-19. century to support claims of the Third Rome and the continuity between Kyivan Rus' and Muscovy.

The meaning of Ukraine in your video is not correct. Ucraina consists of "U" - in and "Craina" - land, state, homeland. The best analog from English is "Inland". Borderland is used by russian propaganda.
Regarding russia. Russia (Rossia) is a Greek name of Rus (the name of the country, which excited in modern Ukrainian, Belorussian and some russian territories). Till 1721 modern russia was moscow tsardom and in 1721 it was renamed as russian empire.

I just love this. The fact that we can trace ourselves back to our tribes

Ukraine is Rus! and Russia is Pidorassia(fagland)!

Look up Great Tartaria

Ukraine means "vkrayina" - which means "country". Don't use muscovian proganda's fantastic theories

BULGARIA 🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬

Russia(Russian Federation) not Rus. This is Muscoviya! Rus, Or Kyivan Rus - This is Ukraine.

Dutch also comes from diets or witchbis our word for the germanic lowlands.

Italy Is named Italia after the capital province of the Roman Empire : Italiā the province where Rome is founded

Magyarországról írok. Hunor és Magor Nimród király iker fiai. Attila a Hun-hoz a hungaro gesta kronika szerint közünk van. közel 1000 éves krónika. Több genetikai vizsgálatot is végeztek, feltünően kerülgetik a témát, valamiért nem akarnak róla beszélni. Ezen felül a románok által is elismert Hunyadi Mátyás magyar királyról meg kiderült, hogy Kun származású volt. Kun egy asszimilálódott török népcsoport.

Slovakia means land of Slavs, not a land of Slovenes

Hellas, helios you say Helena, iliada. Comes from the word hel = ήλιος and the ancient Greek word λας whch means rock so let's say shiny rock maybe something like that same as illyria ήλιος and λύρα is a synthetic word like Russia from rus and sia as you said and it is also actually we also called Greeks which is also Greek word this one.
