Abstract
Often present-day authors and speakers, referring to the period when the Orange Free State was still a Boer republic, create their own (new) names for that region. This article analyses the official name of the Free State and the contemporary use of it by the public and civil servants. It also points out the sometimes erroneous orthography of the name by modem historians, educationists, and other researchers.
