Etymology

The name 'Panama' is thought to be derived from an indigenous word meaning 'abundance of fish' or 'place of many butterflies.' The country has a rich history influenced by indigenous cultures, Spanish colonization, and its strategic location for trade. The Panama Canal was completed in 1914 after years of effort and is a significant feat in maritime engineering, making Panama a pivotal point for international shipping. The hat style, known as the 'Panama hat,' is not originally from Panama but rather from Ecuador, yet it gained its name because it became popular among travelers in the country.
