The suffix -land, which can be found in the names of several countries or country subdivisions, indicates a toponymy - a land. The word derived from the Old English land, meaning "ground, soil", and "definite portion of the earth's surface, home region of a person or a people, territory marked by political boundaries".
It evolved from the Proto-Germanic *landą and from the Proto-Indo-European *lendʰ- "land, open land, heath". It is also a German, Dutch and North Germanic word with the same meaning as English land.
