Name your country natively

[JuanMena]

I got this weird question while watching Saint Seya, undubbed with spanish subtitles.
In one scene, I read:
"I will bring the armor back to Japan" (Regresaré la armadura de vuelta a Japón)
But I know that Japan in japanese is not exactly that, but actually Nihon.
So, Japan's true name is Nihon, not Japan.
Of course I'm curious...

Does your country has a different name in it's official language?

England.

Kanata. England would be Engla Land.

Might as well do a video if different names for a country amuses you


Anyway the UK would have to first start with what the UK is


Anyway it is a fairly popular theme in Europe to have different names for places depending upon the histories of places involved, names of tribes, order in which things were discovered during empire days and relations at the time.

Österreich / Austria / Ösiland (by the Germans) / Australia (is often confused with it,very often..)

and last but not least Naziland by all other Countries in the World.

Norge, or the old name Noreg.
Or if you prefer, the Norse names Norðrvegr and Noregr. I quite like Norðrvegr
The English name Norway probably comes from Norðrvegr, only simplified.

Finland - And yes, that is the spelling in one of its official languages (just not the main one).

Chary said it's not related. I was wondering that too.
Funny I don't get notifications on x65, P1ng, or Flame.
