But it's named after one:

 

"The country's name in most Western European languages reflects an adaptation of the Venetian Montenegro 'black mountain''

It's not funny, but the reason it's called Great Britain is because it used to be called Greater Britain, to differentiate it from Less/Lesser/Little Britain, which is what Brittany in France used to be referred to as.

 

Every European country is better? Come on.
