太平洋岛国瑙鲁官方宣布将国名改为瑙埃罗共和国（Republic of Naoero），国家代码更新为NRO [1]。总统大卫·阿迪昂于1月提议该更名方案 [1]，议会于5月以全票通过宪法修正案，由议长马库斯·斯蒂芬于5月13日认证 [1]。
政府决定跳过原定的全民公投，理由是"瑙埃罗不是寻求接纳的新名称，而是已经存在的人民身份" [1]。该名称已出现在国家身份识别与国徽之上，在宪法权限范围内可直接实施 [1]。联合国于6月26日获悉了这一名称变更 [1]。总统随后在7月20日向议会发表开幕词，阐述此决定旨在更忠实地尊重国家遗产、语言和身份 [1]。
The Pacific island nation of Nauru has formally adopted a new official name: the Republic of Naoero, with the country code updated to NRO.[1] The change was initiated by President David Adeang in January and ratified by parliament in May through a unanimous constitutional amendment.[1] Speaker Marcus Stephen certified the amendment on May 13.[1] The United Nations was notified of the name change on June 26, and President Adeang outlined the decision in an address to parliament on July 20.[1]
The government decided to proceed without a referendum, stating that "Naoero is not a new name being sought for acceptance, but rather an identity that already exists among the people."[1] According to authorities, the name had already appeared on the nation's coat of arms and reflected the country's heritage, language, and identity.[1]
