where does the name tierra del fuego come from
Tierra del Fuego The name Tierra del Fuego derives from the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan[clarification needed]; sailing for the Spanish Crown, in 1520 he was the first European to visit these lands. He believed he was seeing the many fires (fuego in Spanish) of the Yaghan, which were visible from the sea, and that the "Indians" were waiting in the forests to ambush his armada.[3]
Segovia The name of Segovia is of Celtiberian origin. The first inhabitants named the city Segobriga. This name comes from two terms of the Celtiberian language of the Celtic branch of Indo-European. The term Sego means «victory» (the prefix is also present in other city names such as Segeda and Segontia, cf. German "Sieg" or Dutch "zege") and the suffix -briga would mean «city» or «strength». So the name might be translated as "City of the victory" or "Victorious city".
