How is a country name created?

Here are common ways country names are determined.

A country can be named after an important person who has a connection to the place or has made something significant to the area that is worth remembering.
The special features of a country can also be used in naming it, like names with ‘Islands’, ‘Archipelago’, ‘Mountains’ or ‘Hills’.
Countries can also be named depending on their locations. Examples are those with ‘North’ or ‘South’ in their names. The location can also be based on another country’s point of view.
A country could also be named using the attributes of its people or of the early tribes that inhabited the place.

Whether you’re looking for a new place to call home or just need a catchy name for the brand of your business, these country names will give you plenty of ideas. Enjoy the process of coming up your background story and branding behind each one.
