Why Japanese call their country nippon or nihon?
The Japanese call their country "Nihon" or "Nippon" because of it's kanji ( 日本 ). The first is the kanji for "sun", and the second is the kanji for "root". Together, sun+root= "from where the sun rises", making Japan "the land of the rising sun". The kanji used have a couple different ways of being pronounced, mostly a regional variance, hence "Nihon" and "Nippon" are both acceptable. Adding the suffix "-go", or sometimes "-ga", to a country name then refers to their language. "Nihongo" refers to the Japanese language. Another example would be "Supaingo", where "Supain" refers to the country Spain, and adding the "-go" refers to the Spanish language.
