Хич не е случаjно... Ама како сме зафанеле да не излезе и Аргентина македонска?
The name Argentina (from Latin argentum: silver)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina#Etymology
А зошто па да не излезе?
Сигурно не е татаро-монголска.
Цркни од јад.
silver
O.E. seolfor "silver," from P.Gmc. *silubra- (cf. O.S. silvbar, O.N. silfr, M.Du. silver, Du. zilver, O.H.G. sillabar, Ger. silber, Goth. silubr), from a common Germanic/
Balto-Slavic term (cf. O.C.S. sirebo, Rus. serebo, Lith. sidabras "silver"), possibly from a language of Asia Minor. Perhaps from Akkad. sarpu "silver," lit. "refined silver," related to sarapu "to refine, smelt." Chemical abbreviation Ag is from L. argentum "silver," from the
PIE root (see argent). The verb, "to cover or plate with silver" is recorded from 1440. Silverware is from 1860.
argent
c.1485, "quicksilver," from M.Fr. argent, from O.Fr., from L. argentum "silver, white money," from
PIE *arg-ent- (cf. Avestan erezata-, O.Pers. ardata-, Armenian arcat, O.Ir. argat, Breton arc'hant "silver"), from base *arg- "to shine, white," thus "the shining or white metal, silver" (cf. Gk. argos "white," arguron "silver;"
Skt. arjuna- "white, shining," rajata- "silver," Hittite harki- "white").
