The country known in English as Burma, or Myanmar, has undergone changes in both its official and popular names worldwide. The choice of names stems from the existence of two different names for the country in Burmese, which are used in different contexts.
The official English name Burma (Burmese: ဗမာ) was an old name used by Myanmar Country, yet later was changed by Burma's government from the "Union of Burma" to the "Republic of the Union of Myanmar". Since then, those name changes have been the subject of controversies and mixed incidences of adoption.
