Etymology nb, ultimately based on nb so Soomaali Somali, the ethnonym of the Somali people, with the international geographical ending -ia. The corresponding Somali country name is so Soomaaliya Somalia. The deeper origin of so Soomaali is uncertain. A traditional explanation connects the ethnonym with Samaale, an ancestral figure in Somali genealogical tradition, but this is not securely established as its historical etymology. The geographical ending -ia ultimately continues Latin la -ia, alongside Ancient Greek grc -ία and grc -εια. Parallel international forms include nn Somalia, da Somalia, sv Somalia, de Somalia, it Somalia, la Sōmālia and en Somalia.
