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 !! )

In my Spanish class, it was always spelled Colombia with an accent over the second o. So it’s pronounced Koe-lohm-bee-a not Kuh-lum-bee-ah as most English speakers pronounce it. Columbia is the more common incorrect English spelling from everything I can find on the internet. Colombia seems to be the more accepted proper spelling from everything I can find. Everything I’ve been taught in school and from what I can find is Colombia. Not Columbia.
