The state's name derives from the Greek Μακεδονία (Makedonía). The name was used for Macedonian Empire, later for the Roman Province, Byzantian theme Macedonia, until today for the region Macedonia and the state Macedonia. The name is believed to have originally meant either highlanders or the tall ones, possibly descriptive of the people.

Archaeological findings show that civilization existed on the territory of Macedonia from the period between 9000 BC. and 3500 BC For the first time, the Macedonian Kingdom appears in the 9th century BC, and there is a dilemma about who was the first Macedonian king - Karan (considered to be the mythical ancestor of the Argeades) or Perdiccas I (the first historical king of the Kingdom of Macedonia) .

The penetration of the Roman Republic to the east leads to the so-called Macedonian-Roman wars (215 BC - 168 BC) in which the Macedonian Kingdom, led by the Antigonine Dynasty, falls entirely under Roman rule, and the last Macedonian king Perseus was taken as a slave to Rome. It becomes a Roman province as part of the Roman Empire and is divided into two parts - Macedonia Prima and Macedonia Salutaris. In 837 AD, Macedonia began to fall under the rule of the Bulgarian state, and by the middle of the IX century most of Macedonia fell under Bulgarian rule and the other part was included in the Byzantine Empire.

By the end of the XIV century, Macedonia was completely subdued by the Ottomans, thus destroying its economic and social system, as well as its further social and cultural development. After the First World War, Macedonia became part of the Kingdom of and is known as the " Banovina", after the Second World War became an equal republic in the SFRY until 1991.Since 1993 Macedonia has been known as FYROM due to the veto which has put in the UN on the name Macedonia. The longstanding dispute was resolved in 2018 with the "" since Macedonia agreed to use the name North Macedonia. From 11.02.2019 it is officially called the Republic of North Macedonia.
