Relating to Macedonia, the ancient kingdom of Alexander the Great, or the modern North Macedonia.
From Greek 'Makedonios,' possibly meaning 'highlander' or 'tall one,' from 'makros' (long, tall). The ancient kingdom was named after the Macedon people who inhabited the mountainous region.
The ancient Macedonians spoke a language that may have been a distinct branch of Greek, and their phalanx military formation revolutionized warfare - Alexander used these long-speared formations to conquer most of the known world.
