This past Thursday, The United Nations spokesman to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Stephane Dujarric, confirmed that he had received the letter requesting a formal name-change for the nation. While Türkiye is a popular destination for tourists from all over the world - even Maldives, it's time to go back and edit all the names inside captions to reflect the new name.
Last year, in December, Türkiye's current president, RecepTayyip Erdogan publicly pushed a bid to change the name in English from the commonly written and pronounced "Turkey" to "Türkiye" (pronounced tur-key-yay). As such, the Foreign Minister of the country, Mevlut Cavusoglu sent the request to the United Nations, which will get the ball rolling on officiating the name change. 
 According to the country's English language television channel TRT, President Erdogan noted that,“The phrase Türkiye represents and expresses the culture, civilization and values of the Turkish nation in the best way,”. The government also revealed a “Hello Türkiye” feature video with several people from around the world saying the phrase in the diverse nation's many tourist destinations 
The name "Turkey" initially emerged following the fall of the remnants of the 300 year old Ottoman Empire in 1918 during World War I when the territories were divided between Britain, France, Greece and Russia. Turkey in 1923 gained a new President with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. It is no wonder that the English language does not have much regard for the word. If you look up the word Turkey in the English dictionary, such as the Oxford English Dictionary, meanings such as "something that is extremely or completely unsuccessful, especially a play or film" will come up. 
The change is not that drastic for the citizens and residents of the nation where the actual name has been Türkiye. It is therefore no surprise that the name is also linked to exports from the country and you will find "Made in Türkiye" proudly displayed upfront on many consumer goods. That in itself has been cited as one of the reasons for the name change. TRT also reported that the President highlighted that, " 'Made in Türkiye’ is now being used instead of ‘Made in Turkey’ on our export products, which are the pride of our country in international trade".
Türkiye is also not the first nation to opt for name change, several nations such as North Macedonia (now Eswatini) and Burkina Faso (used to be Upper Volta) with the most recent name change in 2020 being The Netherlands removing "Holland" in what has been dubbed a rebranding move.
