The tiny island nation of Nauru is considering a change to its official name, potentially becoming “Naoero.” Throughout its history, the Pacific island has been known by various names. The Nauruan parliament has approved a proposal to alter the country’s designation, a move reported by outlets including The Guardian. The proposed change aims to reflect a more accurate pronunciation of the nation’s name as used by its approximately 13,000 citizens. A national referendum will now be held, allowing the population to vote on whether to officially adopt “Naoero.” The outcome of the vote will determine if the name change is implemented, marking a potential shift in the island’s identity. The nation is located in the Pacific Ocean, northeast of Australia.
