Pindorama

→ Guaraní: Pindoráma

First attested in 1897 in a text by Couto de Magalhães, and later repopularized by Oswald de Andrade in 1928, in the Anthropophagic Manifesto.
Magalhães claims this is the Tupian endonym for Brazil used in 1500, meaning "land of the palm trees", but presents no contemporary sources to his claim. If true, it's a misconstruction, as the proper form would be either Pindobetama or Pindoba retama.

Estes conhecião o que chamamos hoje Brazil, do Amazonas até mais ou menos a bahia dos Patos, debaixo do nome de Pindorama, que quer dizer Região das Palmeiras; ao interior, não occupado por elles, denominavão Tapuirama, que quer dizer região de ranchos ou de aldeas.

1897 March 1, José Vieira Couto de Magalhães, “Pindorama é o nome americano do Brasil” (chapter 2), in Anchieta e as raças e linguas indigenas (7ª Conferencia para o Tricentenario de Anchieta), São Paulo: Typographia a Vapor Carlos Gerke & Cia., page 4:

Contra a realidade social, vestida e oppressora, cadastrada por Freud — a realidade sem complexos, sem loucura, sem prostituições e sem penitenciarias do matriarcado de Pindorama.
