The United States renamed the Gulf of Mexico. After we purchase Greenland, what should its new name be?

In East TN, you can see some “State of Franklin” signs, but I think that was just a proposal and Tennessee was never officially named “Franklin.”

Official name was Utah Territory prior to statehood. The name “Deseret” was unofficial and primarily used by the LDS, frankly.

Sounds like you’re thinking of the Xhosa language of South Africa, Lesotho and Zimbabwe.

As a nod to both the colors now used on election maps and the color blind name it Redland.

Not until you brought it up. I wasn’t the one who mentioned clicks and buzzes.

The Greenlandic appears to be ‘Kalaallit Nunaat’ and the Danish is ‘Grønland’.

Half of our States have Native American names; and scores of other places and things in the US do, too.

We’ve learned how to pronounce them without too much trouble.
