When you refer to the South American country that limits Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Panama and is washed by the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, then the name Columbia is correct, but the name Colombia is preferred in English.
Oddly , I’ve always said Columbia ..
( Of course , Columbian women are the most beautiful in the world !! )
