My first thought was an Irish name, and after ruling that out, I went with French, and one of the elisions was a pretty big clue to the answer.

yesterday’s puzzle

cheated by looking at the map, thought I had it with Niue, because all the while I thought: it’s that 4-letter name that starts with an N and which I can never remember, and then it’s freaking **** of course! it’s always one of the obvious ones that escapes me in the moment, see Worldle, Tradle and the like
