Etymology
Puglia is the Italian name for the region that was long called Apulia in Latin, and Apulia was simply the old name for this 'land' in southeastern Italy. A helpful way to remember it is to think of Puglia as the modern Italian form of Apulia, so the name points to the same coastal region known for olive oil and whitewashed houses.
