Neither state ever self designated as North Yemen and the term only came into general use when the Federation of South Arabia gained independence as the People s Republic of Yemen in 1967 making such a distinction necessary.

Alternate forms were Yemen Sanaa for North Yemen and Yemen Aden for South Yemen after their respective capital cities.
