The reason France’s and Spain’s names are so different than in other languages is because they both appear in the Bible
Edit: Greece is called Yavan from the Bible as well
Cool!
They call Britain “Megadeth”?
“Tzarfat” leads the crowd.
Why is Tzar fat? France never even had a tzar!
I was waiting for this! תודה רבה אחי
Yes in France we like to make jokes with fart , but we don’t eat enough caviar to expel Tzar fart
I like Sfarad. Does it have a meaning?
Very similar to Turkish
Portugal = Portugal 🗿
אחלה מפה
So Portugal in Hebrew is Portugal? Hum interessante
Spain name explains why jews from Portugal and Spain are called Sephardic Jews. Didn´t knew that
The countries of Israel, Jordan and Lebanon all get their names from Hebrew. So it’s everyone else copying in this case.
Fun fact: the Hebrew word for Egypt is in the dual. Mitzrayim means “the two Egypts” while in Arabic it’s just “Egypt”
Czechia in medieval Hebrew was called Knaan.
In the Middle Ages, Romania referred to the Byzantine world and not the modern country of Romania.
Why Libya louv and what does it mean?
And why Morocco not marav (meaning western or where the sunset)
Is-land is fitting
Some are weirdly similar with Turkish
Sa’udya is correct Saudi cause that’s where I’m am.
But what does the other part mean?
People downvoting this to hell just proves how much hate Israelis has to face. And why Israel exists in the first place. 🤦🏻♂️
What’s the Hebrew word for The Hebridean Isles?
I’ve heard poland being called polania before
Hebrew doesn’t have a short “I” sound, it’s usually pronounced as a long “E”. though I guess it would look weird to spell Polin as Poleen but that’s how its pronounced. Also, none here are pronounced with long “I” either, only long “E” like Irland is pronounced Eerland or Earland (this one is actually kinda funny)
Always wondered why the Museum of Polish Jew History in Warsaw was called POLIN. Never would’ve expected it just means Poland in Hebrew lol.
