Which Country Is Named After Sheep? 

Name Explain Are you a Historian, or a Geographer? Because you seem to know a lot about country names and names in general?

Does all of this means that the people living in those islands are Sheeple?

I usually good at accents but I cannot place yours. Where are you from?

What’s your source for the horned Viking helmets?

Meh, it worked (sort of). It's on my amazon wishlist and if I no one's given it to me by Christmas, I'll solve that myself. I far prefer this sort of plug to a lot of other stuff I've seen people resort to on RU-vid with all the demonitization going on. Thanks for all your videos, and I'm sure I'll love the book.

Say what!

Yeah this is true

"Wyspy Owcze" - "Wyspy" means islands; "Owcze" means associated with sheep, which is a word created through derivation from "Owca" - sheep.

Ew

Happy birthday! Happy to hear I have viewers from the Faroe Islands!

Sander Skovly thanks

Patrick Lo no am from Tórshavn on Streymoy

Comes from Zeeland wich is a province of the Netherlands Then there's the Danish Zealand which is the largest island of "denmark" and the island where the capital is

NZ has 7 sheep per person, and it used to be 20 per person.

This is wrong. New Zealand isn't named after sheep or is a province of the Netherlands. We are part of the commonwealth thank yoy

ROFL! 🤣

Just funny I guess

A recurring gag probably

Isn't it also derived from the Goths?

No not quite actually... The local Gutnish name for sheep is 'lamb' (Standard Swedish: 'får') and lambs are called 'lambungar' (Standard Sw: 'lamm'). I think you mixed it up with the local breed of sheep which are called "gutefår" in standard Swedish. Btw, the name Fårö (which is a separate island from mainland Gotland) probably hasn't anything to do with sheep (although we don't know for sure what sheep were called in Old Gutnish), it probably comes from the Swedish/Gutnish verb 'fara' which means 'to travel, to go'. It probably refers to the strait of Fårösund between the mainland and Fårö, an important fairway (Sw: 'farled'). The name Gotland itself hasn't got any really satisfactory explanation. The two most important theories is either from the verb 'gjuta' which in modern Swedish means to mould/cast but which could also mean to gush (about a water source or a stream) in Old Swedish/Gutnish. Or it could mean the Island of the Goths (given that the Goths really emigrated from Gotland about which we don't know)

When you lick a ginger person's face, it tastes like ginger.

There's a thing called "research".

Neither, just a curious person with an internet connection.

Name Explain _Cool!_

Felix360 I know, bit it seems like he dedicated his life into it. Just asked though, so no need to get too triggered.

it's like the "ai" in "fair" but with a rounded mouth. Which sounds a bit like the "ur" in "turn"

Well the Irish kinda took over Scotland too.

True kid. West Scotland was Gaelic

Scotland was, basically, an Irish colony. Look up the kingdom of Dal Riata. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A1l_Riata

They didn't.....

They aren't regions anymore.... they are countries!!!🇫🇴🇬🇱

Clever Dick types with no hands.

New Zealand

Originally, they were brought to the islands by Irish monks.

thelazyfoks go back to isp :P

*i bet he's swedish*

Anyone who says otherwise probably would also claim to have been to Bielefeld.

And a spare one to rent!

I'm not a native speaker as well but I would agree with you on that one.

On point 2, saying "their" is perfectly fine in English. "Their" can either be a plural, or a single person of unspecified gender. And I'd guess he calls them "Patreon Saints" because countries already have Patron Saints.

Okay, thanks both of you. The thing with "their" does actually seem to be right. Need to adjust my hearing :)

cause u did a shet

It was obviously a joke.
