Pindorama

From pindoba (“variety of cocosoid palm tree”) +‎ etama (“land, region, place, country”); often translated as "the land of the palm trees". Originally it was in reference to a mythical region located somewhere on the eastern coast of South America, currently the northeastern coast of Brazil, specifically on the coastal strip along the states of Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas.
