Nauru’s president proposes renaming the country to Naoero to honor indigenous language, requiring parliamentary and public approval.
Nauru’s president has proposed changing the country’s name from Nauru to Naoero via a constitutional amendment, arguing the current name was altered for foreign ease of pronunciation rather than cultural choice.
The change, aimed at better reflecting indigenous heritage and language, requires a two-thirds parliamentary majority and a national referendum.
The bill, introduced in late January, will undergo a 90-day review before further debate.
If approved, the new name would replace all official references in government, international institutions like the UN, national symbols, and transportation.
The move aligns with global trends seen in Eswatini, Türkiye, and Chuuk.
