Nauru Officially Renames Itself Republic of Naoero to Reflect Indigenous Name
The Pacific island nation formerly known as Nauru has officially changed its name to the Republic of Naoero, restoring its traditional indigenous name. President David Adeang announced the change, which aligns with the national language's spelling and pronunciation. The country's international code will update from NRU to NRO, and citizens will be called dei-Naoero. Lawmakers approved constitutional amendments earlier this year, and the government is notifying international bodies. Naoero, with about 12,000 residents, is the world's third-smallest country by population.
