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.
