Helvetia is a historical name for Switzerland, derived from the Helvetii, a Celtic tribe that inhabited the region during ancient times. The name is often used in various contexts, including in the country's official Latin name, Confoederatio Helvetica, which reflects its multicultural identity. In modern times, Helvetia is also associated with the Swiss postal service and is featured on coins and stamps. The term is sometimes used in branding and design, particularly in reference to the popular Helvetica typeface, which was created in 1957 and is known for its clean and modern aesthetic.
