Why is FYROM named Macedonia, when Macedonia was Greek and resides in modern day Greece? When did the region first become known as Macedonia? Was there a purpose for it being named Macedonia? Why wasn't it called Paeonia, or something similar?

Macedonians were considered barbarian subhumans by ancient Greeks. They are not slavs who live in skopje but they were not greeks either

Modern Ottoman Rape babies think they know better than Demosthenes

The Macedonian people were certainly not seen as Greeks but their royal family was.
