What does 'Rio de Janeiro' mean?


Rio de Janeiro (short name is Rio) means 'January River'. 

 Rio is the second largest city in Brazil with the population of more than 6 million. People speak Brazilian Portuguese there.

 Rio de Janeiro is the most popular city in South America (and perhaps in the whole Southern Hemisphere). This city is famous for its amazing carnival celebrations, samba, Bossa Nova, and balneario beaches.
