米 means rice as kanji but in fact 米 on 米国 means nothing. its like a japanese name 米田. this 米 also is like a phonetic equivalent or some paraphrase.

it doesnt mean anything. it might have some traditional meaning rooted in some region or their family but thats it. the pronounce is yone-da, not kome-da. 米国s pronounce is bei-koku. the pronounce of 米 as rice is kome.

Rice and field but it doesn't mean rice field, 稻田 = rice field cause fuck you it's China

>>56941729

That means heroic country nigger, 英 = 英雄, all the big countries got cool names from the Chinese, USA = beautiful country, France = lawful country, UK = heroic country, Germany = moral country, the other shit is mostly phonetic except for countries with which China had historic relations.

英 means in Japanese for noble rather than heroic.
I find its name originally came from the image that old English aristocrats behaved as intelligent and graceful gentlemen.

however todays few Japanese don't associate its origin of name with current image of UK anymore.

In Chinese (AND Japanese!), Japan is 日本. It literally means "origin of the sun"

>>56958770
"é“ in Chinese is pronounced like "uhhH". Now, since Mandarin doesn't have a large syllable set, "é" can sound like other words like "hungry" and "swan"

Also for what it's worth, it was originally (and is sometimes also referred to as) 俄罗斯 = élúosi
>>
It's actually a phonetic translation of the name of the first person to have drew America on a map. His name was Merigos.
>>
>>56950643
That's only because 非 is short for 阿非利加 which is the Chinese transliteration of 'Africa'.

They probably couldn't call it 阿洲 because it would sound too much like asian continent
>>
The Untied States translates to "The Lands of the Pact" in Hebrew, which is really cool desu.
