Nauru, the world’s third-smallest country, changes its name to Naoero

The Pacific Island country of Nauru has changed its name to the Republic of
Naoero, its president said, matching the spelling and pronunciation in the
national language.

The country’s international code will change from NRU to NRO and its people
will be known as dei-Naoero instead of Nauruan. Commonly known abroad by
the pronunciation of Now-roo, the new name is spoken as Now-ero.
