Not something I thought of a lot when I was back in US since USA is... a pretty bureaucratic name by all means. But I just realized that some countries have really fascinating names in their local language

Like how China names itself Central/Middle country in a very grandiose way (as in, we are the center of the world), or Japan being "land of the rising sun"

Cool to know about turtle island. I was merely expressing my ignorance for any other names for the "country" as OP asked. I do understand there would be different names for each local ancestral lands and territories.
