The name Macedonia is a [[Greek]] word originating from the adjective ''Makednos'', meaning big. Ancient Macedonians were of Greek origin and spoke Greek, in contrast to today's residents of FYROM who speak a slavic-bulgarian idiom (slavic majority) and albanian (albanian minority) and do not have a direct tie-in to ancient Macedonia.
