Where did Brazilian people come from?

Answer 1

Brazil is named after a tree (pau-brasil) from which portugueses, during the colonization period, extracted red colored liquid to paint fabric.

First, when the Portuguese got there they called the land as "Ilha de Vera Cruz" (Vera Cruz Island), when they realise that was not an island they changed it's name to "Terra de Santa Cruz" (Land of Vera Cruz)

And just later, when they started to extract this wood from a tree named "Pau-Brasil" to avoid loosing the territory (specially for France, that was interested in it) by occupying it. Because of the extraction of this tree, they changed the name to "Brasil" (Brazil) I hope I cam help u with this answer c(:

Answer 2

The word Brazil comes from a native tree called 'Pau Brasil'. This huge tree was used to be very abundant in the Brazilian territory, it was discovered when Portuguese colonizers first arrived. The wood was used to produce a red pigment used in dying and the extensive and abusive exploitation of this natural resource almost led to its extinction.
