How do civilizations come up with their names?
A civilization's name is usually a reflection of its culture, values, and history. For example, the ancient Greek city-state of Athens was named after the goddess Athena, who was the patron deity of the city. The name 'Athens' conveys the idea of wisdom and learning, which were two of the most important values in ancient Greece.
Similarly, many Native American tribes have names that reflect their connection to the natural world. The Cherokee tribe, for instance, is named after a word in their language that means 'people of another place'. This reflects their belief that they came from another world and were placed on this earth by the creator.
