In this video, I explore the history of European countries and/or regions that have undergone name changes, focusing on seven examples: Bohemia - now Czechia, Dacia - Romania, Livonia - Latvia / Estonia, Caledonia - Scotland, Ruthenia - Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Castille - Spain, and Illyria - Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia. I explore the origins of these historical names, often rooted in ancient tribes or geographical features, and discuss the cultural, political, and historical factors that led to their transformation into the modern names we recognize today. For instance, Bohemia's transition to Czechia reflects a unification of regions and a desire for a name representing all Czech lands. Similarly, Dacia's evolution into Romania signifies the region's Roman heritage.
