When Syphilis first surfaced there was a debate between lots of countries on its origins, so there have been various different names to call it. Learn bellow which they were.
To be more exact, the English called it the “French disease”, the French called it the “Spanish disease”, Germans called it the “French evil”, Russians called it “Polish disease”, Poles called it “Turkish disease”, Turks called it “Christian disease” & Japan called it “Chinese pox”, according to jmvh.org.
