      But in most sentences it is simply refered to as "haaretz" or "the land".
      That wasnt a full answer.

      There are other names, used by other natives, but someone once claimed that Apolyton is a for-the-whole-family forum so I wont translate them here.

        The Native word from which "Canada" derives is "Kanata" or settlement.

        The reasons are the usual...
        Conquistador: What am I pointing at?
        Native: Your finger?
        Conquistador: Great. I claim the land of "your finger" in the name of Her Majesty.

                          Romania - It has something to do with the fact that it was Roman province.

                          Everybody call it Romania or Rumania.
                          Unlike Germany :

                          In france - Allemagne
                          In english - Germany

                                In italian - Tedesci
                                Tsk tsk! Tedeschi are how germans are called in Italy, of course we call the country Germania, as the roman province - although in the common slang every single german on Earth is labelled as kraut

                                Mihai- aren't most of city names in Romania based on a legacy of the roman heritage? As Cluj-Napoca, Alba Iulia, Constanta?
                                I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.
