Did you know the names Australia and Austria are related? (1 Viewer)

[Ahsoka]

But not closely. Australia comes from Latin australis (meaning southern), while Austria comes from ostar (meaning east) and reich (meaning realm). Not immediately super related, but auster (from Latin) and ostar are thought to come from the same Proto Indo European word aus, meaning “dawn” or “to shine”
