How
Different
Regions
are
Named Every
region
is
unique
and
has
its
own
distinct
name.
Many
regions
are
named
after
geographical
features,
historical
events,
or
indigenous
peoples
that
have
inhabited
the
area
for
generations.
Here
is
a
look
at
how
various
regions
are
named. Geographical
features
often
play
a
significant
role
in
region
naming.
For
example,
the
Rocky
Mountains
in
the
western
United
States
were
named
for
their
rugged
terrain.
The
Great
Plains
of
North
America
describe
the
vast,
flat

that
stretch
across
the
central
part
of
the
continent.
The
Amazon
rainforest
in
South
America
was
named
after
the
Amazon
River,
which
flows
through
it. Historical
events
are
another
common
source
of
region
names.
In
the
United
States,
the
New
England
region
is
comprised
of
six
states
in
the
northeast
that
were
some
of
the
first
to
be
colonized
by
Europeans
in
the
early
1600s.
The
American
South
is
also
a
historical
reference
to
the
states
that
seceded
from
the
Union
during
the
Civil
War. Indigenous
peoples
often
give
names
to
regions
based
on
their
language
and
culture.
For
instance,
the
Maori
people
named
the
land
they
settled
in
New
Zealand
Aotearoa,
which
translates
to
"land
of
the
long
white
cloud."
Similarly,
the
Inuit
people
in
northern
Canada
and
Greenland
named
the
Arctic
region
they
inhabit
"Nunavut,"
which
means
"our
land"
in
their
language. In
conclusion,
regions
are
named
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
be
it
geographical
features,
historical
events,
or
indigenous
peoples.
Each
name
tells
a
story
about
that
region's
unique
characteristics
and
history.
