The Romans did not have a name for Bulgaria. The area which is now Bulgaria came under two different provinces of the Roman Empire: Thracia and Moesia. Thracia (Thrace in English) covered central and southeastern Bulgaria, northeastern Greece and the European part of Turkey. Moesia covered southern Serbia, the north of the modern Republic of Macedonia, northern Bulgaria, Romania south of the river Danube and southern Moldova.
Thrace (Thracia in lat. and in Bulgarian Trakia) was never an old name of Bulgaria (after Bulgaria was extablished first in 681 AD by Haan Asparukh). Well Mizia, the Rodhopes, The Trakia were parts of greater Bulgaria but never was an ALTERNATE name
The Communist party who came on power in 1944 abolished monarchy and established Bulgaria as a 'People's Republic of Bulgaria'. Addition: After 1989 when democratic changes took place, one party rule was removed, Bulgaria became ' Simply Republic of Bulgaria' (Република България).

There is no queen of Bulgaria. Bulgaria is now a republic and it has a President not a monarch. Bulgaria has had different forms of government, but it has not been a monarchy since the early part of the 20th century.
Bulgaria gets its name from the Bulgar people, who migrated from Central Asia to Eastern Europe in the 7th century. They established Old Great Bulgaria (roughly where Ukraine is today) and later, some of them settled on the Balkans and mixed with the local Slavic and Thracian populations. They fought with and gained independence from the Byzantine Empire, to form the First Bulgarian Kingdom in 681 (the official "birth" of what is today Bulgaria).
