[Answer] 2. Which country's name comes from a Spanish adaptation of a Portuguese name meaning "Lion mountains"?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "2. Which country's name comes from a Spanish adaptation of a Portuguese name meaning "Lion mountains"?"

...1. Sierra Leone 2. Laos 3. Moldova 4. Suriname In 1462, the coast of present Sierra Leone was explored by the Portuguese navigator Pedro da Cintra, who called it "Serra de Le�o", probably because the shape of the mountains in the distance reminded him of a lion. The origin of the name Moldova is not clear. One legend says that prince Dragos named a river "Molda" after his favourite hound, who was named Molda, drowned in it. The river eventually gave its name to the whole country. In the Lao language, the country's name is "Muang Lao" or "Pathet Lao", which both mean "Lao country". The French united the three Lao kingdoms when they colonised the region and pluralised the name into Laos. It seems that the name Suriname comes from a native tribe of the region, the Surinem, who were Arawak-speaking. They inhabited the region before colonisation.
