Excited to announce that this video was made as a collaboration with a fantastic (and fairly new) YouTube channel called Atlas Pro. I've been subbed to him since he had just 11k subs, and he's been blowing up lately, and rightly so. Go watch his related video on Renaming the Continents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07vPaWKzpCI Thanks to everyone for watching. I hope you enjoyed this video. And any new subs that may have come from Atlas Pro's channel: welcome!

The funny thing about the Czech Republic/Czechia dispute is that its neighbour Slovakia has nearly always been called Slovakia (because of Czechoslovakia), even though it's official name is the Slovak Republic.

Gonna be honest, this video blew my mind, because I had no idea Swaziland changed its name.

Also, the "endonym" name for New Zealand is Aotearoa (which translates to "land of the long white cloud"). Named by the Maori and still used frequently. We are also one of few countries to have 2 national anthems (one in Maori and one in English),.

To think of your country and to think of two names like Myanmar and Burma seemed so strange to me until I relisted I do the same , Aotearoa being the second name for New Zealand.

The protoslavic word for Germany (We'll take "Niemcy" in Polish as an example) comes from the words "Nie mówiący" or "Niemy" meaning "Not speaking" or "Speachless". It is believed that the slavic tribes called Germans that because they didn't understand their language , and vice versa

Glad to see a YouTube that prioritizes quality over quantity

Thailand changed its name from Siam to Thailand.

Finland is really weird because from what I’ve seen in most languages, only 2 refer to it by the native name Suomi: Finnish (obligatory) and Estonian, as Soome. Every other language refers to it as Finland.
