Anatolia is derived from the Greek word Ἀνατολή (Anatolē), meaning "east".
Anatolia refers to a geographical region in Western Asia that corresponds to the Asian part of modern-day Turkey. It is bordered by the Black Sea to the north, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, the Aegean Sea to the west, and the Armenian Highlands to the east.
The name "Anatolia" was first used by the ancient Greeks to describe the region east of their homeland. The term later became widespread during the Roman Empire, when the region was known as the Diocese of the East (Dioecesis Orientis).
The term "Anatolia" is still used today to refer to the Asian part of Turkey, although the official name of the country is the Republic of Turkey.
