malaya
Malaya is a historical term, primarily used to refer to the Malay Peninsula, a region in Southeast Asia that includes southern Thailand and the entire country of Malaysia. In a more specific historical context, "Malaya" often references the Federation of Malaya, a former federation of 11 states which existed from 1948 to 1963, prior to the formation of modern-day Malaysia. The name "Malaya" is derived from the Malay word "Melayu," meaning "Malay." It may also be used as a female first name in various cultures, often symbolizing freedom.
