Synopsis

The value embodied by the name in its multiple designations: a person, a city, an animal, a people, a country and an environment in general allows a distinction or an individualization of what is named in relation to others of the same nature or the same species. If a person is named, he or she is distinguished from others of the same race, tribe and family by his or her name. On the other hand, the names discussed in this little educational book are those in the field of toponymy, i.e. the study of place names (cities, countries, continents, mountains, rivers etc.). This study or analysis of names will focus on the names of countries or territories that can be located on this living planet, the earth, that are delimited, independent and have sovereignty. The dation of the name of a country marks its own identity in front of other countries from the same continent or the same geographical sub-region. Example: Uganda different from the Democratic Republic of Congo, France from Germany, Russia from China, Japan from Indonesia, Australia from New Zealand, Canada from Mexico etc.
