The name "Alps" is derived from the Latin word "Alpes," which is thought to have originated from the Celtic word "alp," meaning "high" or "mountain." The region has been known by various names throughout history, but the term is primarily associated with the ancient Romans. They used it to describe the mountain range that stretches across several countries in Europe. The name reflects the impressive heights and rugged terrain of the mountains.
