Ulrik Andersen as far as I know, Spanish Galicia, as well as Portugal, come from "Galia" or "Galo", Spanish for Gaul. This region was inhabited by Celts (Gauls), an its name probably came from that. As for Galicia in Ukraine and Poland, I honestly don't know. It's interesting how in Spanish we use Galicia to refer to Spanish Galicia, but Galitzia to refer to Ukrainian Galicia.

Bruno Gruneiro -I think galicia in Ukraine was named after the Gallic tribes as well as they were once very widespread even to eastern Europe and Turkey -St Paul's Epistle to the galatians gives testimony to the Gallic tribe of the Galatians who crossed over the Dardanelles in about 200 BC and established a kingdom in Asia Minor (Turkey) St Paul addressed an epistle to them when they had long been part of the Roman Empire.Even in Italy there a placenames that remember the Gauls -e.g. Gallarate near lake Como and Senigallia (which means harbour of the Gauls) on Adriatic coast. All of Italy north of the Rubicon river was known as Gallia prior to Roman conquest in about 200 BC.

The word "Gruzia" stayed that way because the words "Georgia" and "George" cannot settle very well with the Russian vocabulary that's why there is no "George" in Russian language instead they have the word "Yuri" which is the Russian version of "George" The word "Gruzia" and "Gruzin" existed for many years and every georgian I know doesn't mind being called "Gruzin" the first time I heard about this issue is in this video the same way Armenians call Georgia "Vrastan" and not "Georgia" because this is how they used to calling it If Georgians really don't want themselves to be called as "Gruzins" then they shouldn't allow other countries to call them "Georgians" either They should be called with their ethnic name which is "Kartphelians" or "Kartphelis" and their country as " Kartphelia" and not "Georgia" this will clear the confusion between their country and the US state with the same name rather than them finding ridiculous reasons to blame Russia for everything

So if he was not my friend but some kind of business partner, I would rather call him Georgiy.

Hoi19448239345 I have no idea why you are attacking somebody with a language that has a colonial past and is spoken in 2-3 countries with over 20 million speakers when in the same section you have somebody with a dialect that is not even spoken by a million in an area the size of Israel with absolutely no colonial power history. Please stop insulting Koen.

I always assumed the US state of Georgia was named after King George and the X USSR state of Georgia was named after St. George. Anyway, it's all very interesting.

Person from Georgia (county) here, we really, really love Saint George here. Like, a lot.

They should do something to avoid confusion! I usually just avoid using Georgia and say Atlanta and Tbilisi (their respective biggest cities) instead.

Why do so many places have names ending with "ia"? Georgia, Virginia, Colombia, India, Asia, Malaysia, Mongolia, the list goes on.

@Suite_annamite

*It originally came from this Roman superstition that giving an "a" at the end of a name makes it "sound feminine"; and since lands were "nurturing", they are figuratively "mothers". That certainly doesn't apply everywhere, only where English picked up that Roman idea. "Mongolia" is certainly not called that in Mongolian, nor is "India" called that in Hindi; however, "Asia" was a Greek name for anything to its east.* But in other cultures, this idea was already intuitive, even without "a" sounds at the end, native lands are often called "motherlands" if you're referring to it in peace, while "fatherland" is when you're at war.

I think the -ia suffix for place names existed in both ancient Latin and Greek. I guess it's similar to the -land and -stan suffixes for place names in English and Persian respectively.

Of course, the names of most Slavic countries are the basically the same in any Slavic language, *but the pronunciation or spelling might change.* *And that includes the Russian spelling for it: "Украина" instead of the native "Україна".* But you would know very well that there is the unending political polemic on what preposition should go before the name of their country: "na Ukrainu" or "v Ukrainu"!

At the very least, it used to be part of Georgia. But the Abkhazian and Russian Authorities killed all the Georgians there. Now, even if you got it back, you'd need to repopulate it somehow. It would be incredibly difficult. Isn't genocide wonderful?

If you are feeling like doing more things of this exact style, maybe look into the two bosphorus, (the current one between the marmara sea and the black sea, and the ancient one between the black sea and the sea of azov), or the two iberia's, the iberian peninsula, and the kingdom of Iberia in Georgia, also the two galicia's, the one in North Western Spain, and the one in Eastern Europe, roughly western ukrayne and parts of south eastern Poland.
