Many qu\u1ed1c gia<\/em> (country) have their qu\u1ed1c hi\u1ec7u<\/em> (name) changed throughout their courses of history due to various reasons. Vietnam is not an exception. Indeed, officially and unofficially, she has been known by more than a dozen names in its history. Each tri\u1ec1u \u0111\u1ea1i<\/em> (dynasty) may want to change its qu\u1ed1c hi\u1ec7u<\/em>. Do I know them all? Yes, because any kid who grew up in Vietnam like I did, had to learn these qu\u1ed1c hi\u1ec7u<\/em> during history lessons from elementary all the way through high school. Well, that doesn\u2019t mean I would remember to list all of them in the correct period. Sourced from Wikipedia, I got it all sorted out in chronological order for you for an easy reference.<\/p>\n
