Who knows the meaning of the country name?

The name of Argentina, which means silver, originated from Latin "Argentina" and Spanish "Argénteo". "In 1554, Argentea's statement first appeared in map records." The Argentine Ministry of Defence explained this on its website.

Many places in Argentina are named after silver, such as El Río de la Plata, a big river that flows through the capital. As the traffic artery of the former Peruvian governor's district (built in 1542, which governed the colonial administrative district in western South America), "Galaxy" has also become one of the origins of Argentina's name.

The capital of Argentina is Buenos Aires, which is a transliteration of Spanish for "fresh air". Pedro Mendoza, a Spanish explorer, was named after his hometown of Andalusia and Santa María del Buen Aire, the patron saint of sailors in Mediterranean countries.
