Yes it does.
Back when Brazil was a Portuguese colony, a big industry for the Portuguese was the extration of wood. Portugal won a lot of money with this extrative industry.
Not any kind of wood though.
In Brazil we have a typical wood that is red/yelow, looks like it's on fire. Just like burning coal.
There is a name in Portuguese for "burning coal" that is "brasa". So, burning coal is "brasa".
"Brasa" is a noun, the adjective for "like burning coal" is "brasil".
Therefore the wood that was abundant here was named "Pau-Brasil" or Brazilwood (as there is no word in english for "LikeBurningCoal-Wood", or something like that...lol...).
Brazilwood was very popular and used in europe, so the word was that a "Brazil land" was discovered.
