English Wikipedia has an article on:

Macedonia

Related to μᾰκεδνός (măkednós, “tall, slim”),^[1] which is derived from Proto-Indo-European *meh₂ḱ- (“long, slender”).^[2] Also related to Doric Greek μᾶκος (mâkos) and Attic Greek μῆκος (mêkos, “length”),^[3] Μάκιστος (Mákistos) (the mythological eponym of a town in Elis and an epithet of Heracles), 𐬨𐬀𐬯𐬀𐬵 (masah, “length”), Hittite [script needed] (maklant, “thin”), Latin macer (“meagre”) and Proto-Germanic *magraz (“lean, meager”).
