Fun fact about Italy (thanks to minignar):

The established theory regarding the origin of its name is that it comes from a local tribe (Itali) who used to inhabit the region now known as Calabria. A less-known fact is that this tribe is believed to be named after the word for "veal/calf", as they used to worship the head of a calf.
