Homeland

A homeland is a place where a national or ethnic identity has formed, and can also refer to one's country of birth. It is often used interchangeably with "fatherland" and "motherland", which refer to the country of one's ancestors or the place where one grew up. A fatherland is the nation of one's ancestors or the country of nationality, and is often associated with nationalist and patriotic sentiments. The term has been used in various forms throughout history, including in ancient Greek and Roman times, and is still used today in many European languages, including Dutch, German, and English.learn more on wikipedia
