Thank you for the question.

The name Israel comes from the biblical story about Jacob defeating a bad angle. The original phrase is “a prince hast thou power with God”.

Hi @chinyama ,

I’m from Indonesia. Indonesia means Indian Land. It derives from the Latin and Greek word Indus, meaning “Indian”, and the Greek word nésos, meaning “island”.

Hi @chinyama ,

Finland in Finnish is Suomi, which is believed to have derived from the words ‘suo’ (fen) and ‘maa’ (land). Therefore from Fen and Land, it became Finland.
