- Ecuador means equator. Ecuador is located on the equator. Thus, Ecuador is named for its location.
The latest name is obvious. I can't find the reference, but after territorial wars - probably between Peru and Colombia, the name was changed from Kingdom of Quito to Ecuador as a compromise between the names that different countries wanted. Whatever the politics, all the countries had to admit that Ecuador (meaning equator) was on the equator.
Ecuador got it's name due to the fact that it lies on the equator.
The country of Ecuador gets its name from the imaginary line that divides the Earth in two hemisphires: "equator"
Its a foreign name of a line. The word for "equator" is Ecuador, and the equator runs through the country.
From the Spanish form of Equator (which runs through the country). Before 1830 the region bore the name of its chief city, Quito, taken from the name given by the now, extinct, native people
In the Republic of Ecuador.... Ecuador translates as Equator. Ecuador sits right on the Earth's equator.
