Summary: ・The reason why Japan is called Japan or similarly in most languages is because the country was once called Zu-pang in the Southern China meaning the sun's origin. ・Who named Japan? - Marco Polo is the one who brought the name of Japan to the Western world although he did not actually name it.

Is Korean easy?
Since Korean is an East-Asian language, people tend to associate the difficulty with Chinese or Japanese. But, Korean is much easier to learn than other East-Asian languages. Unlike Chinese, Korean is not a tonal language. This means, that regardless of your accent or pronunciation, one tone equals one meaning.
Japanese is slightly easier to learn. But, Chinese is much more widely spoken. Both languages have their pros and cons.
