landmass naming

Landmass naming refers to the process of identifying and assigning names to large areas of land, such as continents, countries, and islands. These names often originate from historical, geographical, or cultural sources, and help people communicate locations effectively. Naming conventions can vary worldwide, influenced by languages, exploration history, and political factors. Standardized names are maintained by international organizations like the United Nations to ensure consistency and clarity across maps, documents, and discussions. This systematization aids in navigation, governance, and cultural recognition, ensuring that each landmass has a clear, accepted identity on a global scale.
