Nauru Officially Changes Name to Republic of Naoero to Reflect Traditional Identity
The Pacific island nation formerly known as Nauru has officially changed its name to the Republic of Naoero to align with its traditional spelling and pronunciation in the national language. The international code will update from NRU to NRO, and citizens will be called dei-Naoero. The change, endorsed by Parliament, aims to honor the country's heritage and identity. While a referendum was initially planned, lawmakers decided it was unnecessary, stating the name has always been part of the nation's identity.
