iRaq and iRan are silly but the "Kyiv" stuff is different.

I don't know why Greece (Hope Wax) is labelled Hope December
the La (腊) in Xi La (Greece or Hellas) can mean wax but it also refers to method of food preservation in China called Waxing where meat is dried and cured to have a waxy exterior, this is commonly done in the winter and hence the 12th month in the Chinese Lunar calender (actually usually in January rather than December) is sometimes colloquially called the wax month
