ichi-ni-san is right my wife is or used to be my babysitter (I marry her now, she is from Brazil and she agrees with Brazil getting Its name from the NUTs |

The name of Brazil is somewhat controversial. The major theory states it was renamed after brazilwood, an abundant species in the new-found land, which was valuable in Portuguese commerce. This plant has a strong red color, so "Brasil" is derived from the Portuguese word "brasa", meaning "ember".
The early explorers brought back a wood that produced a red dye, pau-brasil, from which the land received its name.
As for the "Brazil nuts" - true it is that Bolivia exports more. In Brazil these nuts are called castanhas-do-Pará, literally "chestnuts from Pará," a state in Brazil. I suppose they were called "Brazil nuts" as they are native to the area and named after the larger more well known country in the region. |

Ichi-ni-san is wrong, Brazil's name do not come from the nuts. Brazil's name comes from a tree called Brazil. |

Fuh Q.
|
Have you ever seen a brazilian's nuts? That's how it got it's name :D
jk.
I think because they probably first seen or originated from there. You know, for instance, like Mandarin Oranges (when you say Mandarin, you usually think Chinese or in that area) when we all know many of them are grown in our own backyard (U.S.A.). |

I dunno but here's a little tidbit. I heard that Brazil got its name from the nut. Not the other way around. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. I guess Bolivia was Spanish and they already chose a name. Whereas the Portuguese seeing these nuts named the place after it. No that last part I made up, but the first bit is supposedly true. |
