# Country Names in Old English

This article shows the names of countries throughout the world in Old English. The article is in its early stages. It will take a community effort to make it more complete. A few of the countries have historical Old English names. But most formed long after the time of Old English. And so a new Old English name has to be created based on the country name's literal meaning. Many of the country names listed below are just simply the name used for the Old English Wikipedia articles for these countries. Many of these articles were created hastily, and they just used the Modern English name. Much improvement needs to be done on this article.
