. Etymology

The name comes from the word Switzerland Schwyz, named after one of the cantons of Waldstätten that formed the core of the Old Swiss Confederacy. [9] The name of the canton dates from 972 and comes from Old High German Suittes, a word related to the Suedan word meaning "burn", referring to a forest that was burned to build some houses in the area. [10] Theuse of the name for this area extended to refer to throughout the canton, and after the Swabian War in 1499 gradually became used to name the whole confederacy. The Swiss German name for the country, Schwiiz is namesake to the canton and its capital, so it is used to distinguish a particular item in d'Schwiiz to refer to the country and the simple form Schwiiz for the canton and city .
The ancientname of the country, Helvetia, comes from the word Helvetii, a Celtic tribe who lived in the Swiss plateau before Roman times. The first mention of the name Helvetti dates from 300 BC C. [11] The names of the Romance languages Helvetia Confoederatio Helvetica or were introduced when Switzerland became a federal state in 1848, back to the Helvetic Republic.

The Tène culture flourished in the late Iron Age, around 450 BC C., [13] possibly under the influence of Greek and Etruscan civilizations. One of the major ethnic groups in the region of Switzerland are the Helvetii. In 58 BC C., at the Battle of Bibracte, the forces of Julius Caesar defeated the Helvetii. [14] In 15 BC C. Tiberius, who later became Emperor of Rome, and Drususthe Great, conquered the Alps, integrating the growing Roman Empire. The area occupied by the Helvetii, hence the name Confoederatio Helvetica, became part of the Roman province of Gallia Belgica and later to the province Germania Superior, while the eastern portion of modern Switzerland was integrated into the Roman province of Raetia.
