How Did Every Country Get Its's Name?
Macedonia:
Macedonia was named from a Greek word, Makedonía which comes from an ancient Greek adjective meaning tall and slim.
And the name Macedonians  originally meant either “highlanders” or “the tall ones”,  and probably described the look of the people. 
And so the country name means…Land of Tall People!
Spain:
Spain was first called Iberia, from the ancient Greek name for the Ebro River.
The Carthiginians spoke a Phonecian language called Punic, and in Punic, rabbit was sphan, as in Spaniard.

Short story: they called it Ispania and when the Romans arrived, they liked this name and decided to keep it, with a slight adjustment to make it more Roman-like: Hispania, and of course, now it’s known as España in Spain.
