First of all, to get a bit of etymology confusion out of the way: "Moldova" is the generic Romanian term for the historical region that was formerly occupied by the [[wikipedia:Principality of Moldavia|Principality of Moldova]] between 1346-1859. For the sake of avoiding confusion, English material differentiates between the ''historical region'', which is referred to by the anglicized "Moldavia", and the ''modern region of Romania and country', which are referred to as "Moldova". [[Name's the Same|It can get a bit confusing]], sort of like [[Useful Notes/Macedonia|Macedonia]] the Greek area or the country.
