Notes - Helvetia.
The Old Swiss Confederacy of the early modern period was often called Helvetia or Republica Helvetiorum ("Republic of the Helvetians") in learned humanist Latin. The Latin name is ultimately derived from the name of the Helvetii, the Gaulish tribe living on the Swiss plateau in the Roman era.
Helvetia (/hɛlˈviːʃə/) is the female national personification of Switzerland, officially Confoederatio Helvetica, the Swiss Confederation.
