Navarre (English /nəˈvɑːr/; Spanish: Navarra, Basque: Nafarroa; officially the Chartered Community of Navarre Spanish: Comunidad Foral de Navarra [komuniˈðað foˈɾal de naˈβara]; (Basque: Nafarroako Foru Komunitatea [nafaroako foɾu komunitatea]; is an autonomous community and province in northern Spain, bordering the Basque Autonomous Community, La Rioja, and Aragon in Spain and Nouvelle-Aquitaine in France. The capital city is Pamplona (or Iruñea in Basque).
The first documented use of a name resembling Navarra, Nafarroa, or Naparroa is a reference to navarros, in Eginhard's early-9th-century chronicle of the feats of the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne. Other Royal Frankish Annals feature nabarros. There are two proposed etymologies for the name.
