The original name sounds similar to how Dutch says "Belgie"
In fact, from the publication of De Bello Gallico to around 1780, the region now called the Low Lands was commonly referred to as Belgium. Or Flanders.
I am from Belgium 🇧🇪
So Belgium is actually a pretty old country 2000 years+, it was just invaded often
It needs an update. Now it's Belgistan.
Belg is a reference to the processing of flax, which was what the region was most known for in that time

i am from Belguim and yesterday o had a presentation About Julius Caesar
If I recall correctly (but it has been 10 years or so), the intro to Caesar's work is something like "yeah there's a lot of peoples here, horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae" which translates to "of all these, the strongest are the Belgians".
I live in Belgium.
