¿Sabes el significado del nombre de los países latinoamericanos?
El otro día alguien me dijo un cuento apócrifo sobre el origen del nombre Venezuela , por lo que me inspiró investigar la etimología de todos los nombres de los países latinoamericanos.
Ahora para que eleves su sabiduría comparto contigo lo que encontré .
Argentina: Viene de argentum, que significa “plata”
Bolivia: En honor a Simón Bolívar
Chile: Viene de la palabra autóctona tchili que significa “nieve” quizás
Colombia: En honor a Cristóbal Colón
Costa Rica: Por la riqueza que encontraron los españoles
Cuba: Viene del nombre aborigen Cubanascnan, que significa “montaña”
Ecuador: Por la línea geográfica del ecuador
El Salvador: Por Jesús, el Salvador cristiano
Guatemala: Viene de la palabra nahuatl Quauhtlemallan, que significa “tierra de muchos árboles”
Honduras: Una disminución gradual de la palabra “fondear” por los problemas que tuvo Colón en las costas del país
México: Viene del azteca mexitli, que significa “pueblo de los mexicas”; así se llamaban los aztecas en honor a su dios de la guerra Mexitli
Nicaragua: Viene de Nicarao, nombre de un famoso gobernante del lugar cuando llegaron los españoles
Panamá: ¡Hay muchas versiones! Algunos dicen que viene del nombre un árbol común de la región, otros dicen que significa “abundancia de mariposas”, otros “abundancia de pescado” y todavía otros “muy lejos”
Paraguay: La nombre guaraní del río y del país
Perú: La hispanización del nombre del río Virú
Puerto Rico: Hace referencia a las riquezas del puerto de San Juan; El nombre taíno de la isla era Borinquen
República Dominicana: Colón le dio los nombres “Santo Domingo” y “La Española” a la isla, pero los taínos ya la habían nombrado Haytí y a su región este, Quisqueya
Uruguay: Una palabra autóctona que significa “río de los pájaros”
Venezuela: Aunque se ha popularizado la idea que significa “pequeña Venecia”, parece que hay más evidencia que el nombre es autóctono
Brasil: disminucion de Pau Brasil, árbol muy importante en la región litoranea (en Portugal, lo usaban para hacer vestimentas rojas) (¡gracias a Diana por enviarme éste!)

Great blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design. Thank you
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

Generally I don’t learn article on blogs, however I wish to say that this write-up very pressured me to take a look at and do so! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thank you, quite great post.

excellent issues altogether, you simply received a logo new reader. What could you recommend about your post that you made a few days in the past? Any sure?
I really like your wordpress theme, wherever did you get a hold of it through?
My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to look it over. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Wonderful blog and brilliant design.
At this time it looks like WordPress is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
Excellent post however , I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this topic? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Kudos!
