The world is considering renaming United States on their maps. As the indigenous people discovered and explored the land thousands of years before the first Europeans, it’s fitting that they should do it. Many nations made up the area. Is there any name that would be representitive of all?

      I really wish there had been more serious answers, I think it’s an interesting one.

      Or not the same joke over and over again

            In English, it is Saint James.

            Strangely enough, both James and Diego are linguistic descendants of Jacob. Each has its own tortured history of pronunciation changes over the last 2 or 3 millennia.

            Yacob = Jacobus = Jacomus = James

            Yacob = Iago = Diego
