Is it said differently in some regions?

In Cyprus, the term Ιρλαντία is used for Ireland.

Ιρλανδία is a feminine noun.

The romanization is Irlandía. The IPA is /iɾlanˈðia/.

The name in Greek is a loanword that entered the language through French rather than directly from English or Gaelic.
The pronunciation of the 'δ' in Ιρλανδία is a voiced dental fricative, which sounds like the 'th' in the English word 'this'. This differs from the 'd' sound found in the English word 'Ireland'.
Greek uses the suffix -ία to turn foreign place names into feminine nouns. This is the same suffix used for other countries like Αυστραλία for Australia and Ιταλία for Italy.
