Anatolia

n. large peninsula which forms the part of Turkey that is in Asia; Asia Minor

For the saint, see Saint Anatolia. Anatolia (; derives from , "" (East)) is a geographic region with two related but distinctly different senses of meaning (in English-language usage) that are usually clear from the context. The term refers to both the greater region, the peninsula of Southwest Asia often called by the Latin name of Asia Minor, and (somewhat incorrectly) the smaller upland region within, known more properly as the Anatolian Plateau (covered below). The peninsular region comprises the greater Asian part of the modern country of Turkey (covering 96% of its land area), as opposed to its European portion (known as Thrace or Rumelia) (4 %).
