In the Act of Union of 1707, England & Scotland agreed to permanent union as Great Britain. The legislative union of Great Britain & Ireland was implemented in 1801, with the adoption of the name the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland. But in 1921, the Anglo-Irish treaty formalized a partition of Ireland, although six northern Irish counties remained part of the United Kingdom & became known as Northern Ireland. The current name of the country – the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland – was adopted in 1927.
