It comes from Suisse and Espana respectively.


Goddess of Grammar
Sometimes Switzerland is written as SUI and when it is, it is as others have said because the French name is Suisse. However, in other contexts the abbreviation for Switzerland is CH, because the German-, French-, Italian- and Romantsh-speakers of Switzerland all have different names for the country (Schweiz, Suiise, Svizzera, Svizra) so in the interest of compromise they use the Latin name, Helvetia--the C is for whatever Confederation is in Latin.


laydlo
suisse, and spain is españa. that's the way the country's native language calls itself.

A lot of abbreviations for countries are based on the native language name for the country.

Switzerland is the English name. In French (the language used by many Europeans) it is Suisse (SUI).

Likewise, Spain is Espana (ESP).

Not everyone in the world speaks English alone.
