Nauru adopts official traditional name Republic of Naoero to preserve Indigenous heritage

The Republic of Naoero has been adopted as the official traditional name of Nauru. The small island nation, located in the central Pacific Ocean, ranks among the world’s smallest independent states by land area and population. Naoero’s adoption reflects a government effort to preserve Indigenous heritage, language, and national identity on the international stage. Situated in the Micronesian region of Oceania, northeast of Papua New Guinea, Nauru has long used both English and local terms in daily life; the change formalizes the traditional name in sovereign communications. The transition will guide how the country is referred to in treaties, passports, and international media moving forward.
