BEST ANSWER if you are right :)

Answer 1

Korea is the english name for "Republic of Korea" (South Korea). The official name of Korea is "Daehan Minguk" (대한 민국), shortened as Hankuk (한국).

As one of the above answers has stated, "korea" was taken from the first kingdom in the Korea land that started to have diplomatic relations with other countries: Koryo (고려)-- which in Western pronunciation, changed to "Korea"

Answer 2

The name "Korea" derives from the Goryeo period of Korean history, which in turn referred to the ancient kingdom of Goguryeo. The merchants of Middle East called Goryeo, Koryo, which was then switched to Korea. It is now commonly used in English contexts by both North and South Korea.

Korea was so named long before Christopher Columbus sailed across the Atlantic so the Americans had nothing to do with naming it. They might have had some slang names during the Korean War but they were not translations of "korea".
