Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term derives from 'united', stemming from Latin 'unire' (to unite), combined with 'nations', from Latin 'natio' (birth, race, tribe). The phrase was famously coined by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and first used in the Declaration by United Nations in January 1942 during World War II, before formally becoming the name of the international organization in 1945.
