What is the former name of maldives?

Hello! The old name of Maldives is the Maldive Islands. Hope you find the answer the one you are looking for. The person on top of this is no help at all!!! LOL Through the ages Maldivian people has been calling their islands as Dhivehi Raajje. Explorers and traders from all over gave their own names for that remote island group.
