This isn't the meaning of Japanese names for countries but the meaning of the names in their native language.

eg. India is listed as river
>The name India is derived from Indus, which originates from the Old Persian word Hindu. The latter term stems from the Sanskrit word Sindhu, which was the historical local appellation for the Indus River. -t. Wikipedia

Most country names in Japanese are transliterations.

OH MY GOD I'M DYING

I COME FROM AN UNKNOWN SOUTHERN LAND

Etymology
Possibly from Ruotsi (compare Cyмь (Sumĭ) < Suomi, Becь (Vesĭ) < Vepsä / *Vepsi), the Finnish name for Sweden, from Old Norse Róðrsland (“the land of rowing”), older name of Roslagen, where the Finns and Swedes first met, from róðr (“steering oar”), from Proto-Germanic *rōaną (“to row”), from Proto-Indo-European *h1reh1- (“to row”).[1]

The Old East Slavic (Old Russian) proper noun Pycь is first recorded in the 12th-century Primary Chronicle. Older attestations of the same name in Greek, Latin and Arabic date to the 9th and 10th centuries.

Iran is wrong. If you want it literally it would translate as "Land of the nobles" Since it means Land of the Aryans and Arya means noble or of noble origin.
