Azerbajdzjan

• Aderbejdjan, Aserbejdjan (obsolete).

Borrowed from Russian (as evidenced by the spelling of the word reflecting the transliteration of Russian Азербайджан (Azerbajdžan); the Russian <ж> (<ž>) is transliterated as <zj> in Swedish). Ultimately from Ancient Greek Ἀτροπατηνή (Atropatēnḗ). See English Azerbaijan for more.
