Origin of North Macedonia
From north + Macedonia. Suggested as a name for the republic since at least the 1990s. Part of the official name of the country since February 2019, adopted to resolve a naming dispute with Greece, hence reinforced as calque of later Macedonian Северна Македонија (Severna Makedonija), itself after English.
