True or false Scandinavia is another name for the countries of Northern Europe?

It can actually be either true or false, for many reasons.
First, it depends on what you consider Northern Europe. If you went by geographical standards, Northern Europe would include Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. However, Northern Europe is typically formulated by a more political/historical standard, that includes only Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.
Next, it depends on what you consider to be Scandinavia. Scandinavia traditionally only includes Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. However, these countries have been present in Finland and Iceland, where they've spread their Scandinavian culture, languages, ideology, etc. Some may consider Finland and Iceland to be a part of Scandinavia due to their large Scandinavian populations, historical influence even today, relatable culture, etc.
So on a traditional sense, the answer is false.
But on a more flexible sense, the answer is true.
