The country of Bolivia got its name after independents leader Simon Bolivar, who helped greatly in the Spanish-American war for independence to several South American countries to gain their freedom from the Spanish crown control. The original proposed name for the country was 'Republic of Bolivar', but by October of 1825 the name 'Bolivia' was officially approved. In the year 2009 its name was officially changed again to the 'Plurinational State of Bolivia'.
