We’re the only ones with an ocean named after us!
Edit: Didn’t read the key, technically, the vast majority of the Indus River isn’t in India. It’s mostly in Pakistan.
Fuck yeah CHAD
named by who lol? India is still a very recent name given by the folks outside of India.
PS – I meant Indians living in India in whatever age (be it 500 BCE etc) never referred to this land as India … I dont know why the title says named after water bodies when in-fact the OG settlement here never used “India” to refer to this piece of land
What about America? It was named after the Gulf of America.
an interesting fact about people in these countries, their bodies are over 50% water
India is name of the indian ocean.
I think Gambia should be named after the Gambia River, not a lake?
What about America?
India – Named after River Indus which flows in Pakistan
Not a country per se but the Iberian peninsula is named after a river, the modern Ebro, ancient Iber, which I think is quite neat
Isn’t the Jordan river outside of the kingdom of Jordan? Or do you consider a river right on the border of a country to be „in it“?
You forgot Iceland.
What about water bodies named after a country? 😉
Since India is named after a body of water (the Indus River), and ‚Indonesia‘ implies ‚Indian Islands,‘ can we technically say that Indonesia is also named after a body of water?
Technically, another way to refer to Argentina is by its river: United Provinces of the Río de la Plata. Nobody uses it.
