WHAT DOES NORTH YEMEN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

North Yemen

North Yemen is a term used to designate the Yemen Arab Republic, its predecessor, the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen, and their predecessors that exercised sovereignty over the territory that is now the north-western part of the state of Yemen in southern Arabia. Neither state ever designated itself as "North Yemen" and the term only came into general use when the Federation of South Arabia gained independence as the People's Republic of South Yemen in 1967 making such a distinction necessary. Prior to 1967, the North was known in short form simply as "Yemen." In 1970, South Yemen changed its name to the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen thus eliminating any directional reference in either of the Yemens' official names but the existence of two Yemens preserved the North Yemen and South Yemen designations in popular parlance. Alternate forms were "Yemen " for North Yemen and "Yemen " for South Yemen after their respective capital cities.
