The ancient Greeks referred to the region in question as "Albania", which is why historians uses the name "Caucasian Albania" to distinguish it from the modern country known as Albania (the native name of "Caucasian Albania" is not known, it is only known what that country was called by its neighbours). It is not uncommon that similar names appear in multiple parts of the world: e.g. Galicia / Galicia, Georgia / Georgia, and Zeeland / Zealand. 89.150.160.26 (talk) 22:24, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
