North-West
Named administrative region
North-West is a variant spelling of northwest, the compass direction midway between north and west.
The hyphenated form appears more commonly in British English and in proper names: the North-West Frontier, England's North-West.
When capitalized, it typically designates a specific region rather than a general direction.
