Official name This has been discussed twice before but anyway my next attempt Timor Leste is the English name of this country in the same way that C te d Ivoire is the English name of C te d Ivoire East Timor is just like Ivory Coast for C te d Ivoire one of the former names of the country Confer this this or this I propose moving the article to Timor Leste the government and people of Timor Leste apparently want to be referred to by that name
