Exonym and endonym

Exonym and endonym are two different names for the same thing. Imagine that you have a special toy that you really love to play with, but your mom calls it by a different name. Your name for the toy is the endonym, and your mom's name for it is the exonym. So, an endonym is the name that a group of people, like a tribe or a country, uses to call themselves or their land, while an exonym is the name given to them by outsiders who may not speak their language or understand their culture. For example, Germany is an exonym, the name given to the country by people who do not speak German. Germany calls itself Deutschland, which is the endonym.
