The origin of the country name

The name of the Republic of Macedonia, which has been used since independence, is often referred to as "Macedonia"; However, the Republic of Macedonia and Macedonia are two different concepts, so there is a name dispute.

The Greek side believes that "Macedonia" is a concept in Greek history and opposes the use of the name "Macedonia" in the Republic of Macedonia, so it is temporarily named the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. It was not until February 20 19 that the name was changed to North Macedonia that the contradiction was resolved.

The oldest known settlement in Macedonia can be traced back to about 9000 years ago. In the middle of 4th century BC, the kingdom ruled by Macedonia visited the Balkans. Since then, the history of Macedonia has been diversified.
