Helvetia is the female personification of Switzerland. Originally Helvetia was an ancient region of central Europe occupying a plateau between the Alps and the Jura Mountains that corresponded roughly to the western part of modern Switzerland. The Swiss continue to use the Latin word Helvetia for their country when it is inappropriate or inconvenient to use any or all of the four official languages of Switzerland. Thus, the name appears on postage stamps, coins etc.
