Etymology
Lesotho comes from the Sotho language: Le- is a small word at the front that means 'land' and Sotho is the name of the people and their language, so the name means 'land of the Sotho'. That's why Lesotho is the country where the Sotho people live, much like Scotland means 'land of the Scots'.
