2318: italy Apr 22, 2021
The Italian nation is a fairly young one by European standards, but its name goes very far back. Originally it was from the Oscan language π ππππππ (vΓteliΓΊ) meaning "land of bulls". Oscan is an extinct language from the Italian peninsula, but this is assumed to be related with the Latin word 'vitulus' meaning 'calf'. This name for Italy is originally just for the southern tip of the peninsulina.
