    There are various names of Korea in use


    today, all derived from ancient kingdoms and
    dynasties. The modern English name "Korea" is
    an exonym derived from the name Goryeo, also
    spelled Koryŏ, and is used by both North Korea
    and South Korea in international contexts. In
    the Korean language, the two Koreas use
    different terms to refer to the nominally unified
    nation: Chosŏn (조선, 朝鮮) in North Korea and
    Hanguk (한국, 韓國) in South Korea. Ethnic
    Koreans living in China and Japan also use the
    term Chosŏn to refer to Korea.
