Real Names Of Countries You Thought You Knew #shorts

Did you know that the people who live in Germany call it Deutschland. It has different names
too—like Allemagne in French or Alemania in Spanish.
Next, Japan! The real name of Japan isn’t Japan. In Japanese, it’s called Nihon or Nippon,
which means “the origin of the sun.” That’s why it’s often referred to as the “Land of the Rising
Sun.”
India, also known as “the Golden Bird” is known by its ancient name “Bharat” in Hindi. The
name "India" comes from the River Indus, but "Bharat" has roots in ancient Indian scriptures.
Egypt isn’t Egypt in Arabic! Locals call it Misr. The name "Egypt" comes from the ancient Greek
word "Aegyptos." Quite a difference, right?
Finland is known as Suomi to the Finns. Next time you visit, remember to say “Suomi” and
impress the locals!
Thailand’s real name is Prathet Thai, which means “Land of the Free”? That makes perfect
sense, considering it’s one of the few countries in Southeast Asia never colonized by a
European power.
