Usage notes edit
The term is largely seen as dated when referring to the modern country of Moldova, though is still used when referring to the former Principality of Moldavia or Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic. Confusingly, the latter was formally known as the Soviet Socialist Republic of Moldova, though was commonly referred to as Moldavia.
