The name of Colombia was conceived by the Venezuelan Francisco de Miranda to denote the union of the republics of Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela, in tribute to who discovered America, Christopher Columbus (Italian Cristoforo Colombo). Name of Columbus (Colombo) comes in turn from Latin columbus, meaning dove, pigeon male (Latin columba), an animal that symbolizes peace.
On 15 February 1819, during the Congress of Angostura was proclaimed the state to adopt the name Republic of Colombia, known today as Great Colombia to avoid confusion with the current Colombia, with sovereignty over the territories of the hitherto Viceroyalty of New Granada, Quito and Captaincy General of Venezuela.
The name was proposed by Simón Bolívar in the Jamaica Letter. The name is also mentioned in one verse of the anthem, which reads as follows: "...
It bathes in the blood of heroes land Columbus ... In 1830, emerged as a republic under the name Republic of New Granada, and soon after became a federal state under the title of Grenadine Confederation, which adopted the constitution of 1858.
It adopted the name United States of Colombia in 1863, which in 1886 was definitively established until the present day, in Colombia, a move that was protested at that time by the Congress of Ecuador and Venezuela for considering
it an encroachment unilateral common historical heritage.
However this discrepancy has already been superseded for some time.
