Why Did So Many Countries Get Named Guinea? Guinea, New - TopicsExpress



          

Why Did So Many Countries Get Named Guinea? Guinea, New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea and the former German Guinea, which is now Togoland, Netherlands New Guinea which is now Indonesian Papua, and Dutch Guinea which is now Ghana. Also in South America I assume Guyana and French Guiana to be derived from the same word (but this is just me inferring), and Suriname used to be called Dutch Guiana. It cant be a coincidence! I tried googling but couldnt really find the answers I was looking for. Can anyone help? Just curious
