The full name of Eritrea is the State of Eritrea. It is located in the Horn of Africa, bordered by Sudan to the west, Ethiopia to the south, and Djibouti to the southeast, with a coastline along the Red Sea to the east. The capital city is Asmara. Eritrea gained independence from Ethiopia in 1993 after a long struggle.
the name cames from the Greeks they were calling to the red sea eritros the word was taken from that eritros and the itlian colonization from that word they call ERITREA from ERITROS
The name "Eritrea" is derived from the ancient Greek name for the Red Sea, "Erythra Thalassa" (meaning "Red Sea"). During the late 19th century, when Italy colonized the region, they adopted this term to refer to their newly acquired territories in the area. The name was officially used when Eritrea became an Italian colony in 1890, and it has remained since Eritrea gained independence in 1993.
