Macedonian (obsolete terminology)

For other uses, see Macedonian (disambiguation).

Macedonians as an obsolete terminology was used in regional and in ethnographic sense and had several meanings, different from these used mostly today. The name of Macedonia was revived in the Balkans during the early 19th century as a result of Western European philhellenism. The designation Macedonian arose at the eve of the 20th century and was used beyond but its meanings have changed during the time, and some of them are rarely used anymore.
