Thailand was also known as "Siam" (Thai สยาม, IPA [saˈjaːm]), which was the country's official name until May 11, 1949. The word Thai (ไทย) means "freedom" in the Thai language and is also the name of the majority Thai ethnic group.

Okay, by Tyland, are you referring to the country of Thailand (formerly known as Siam) or are you looking for the country where Tylenol was invented.

I think you meant Thailand. Its earlier name was Siam (changed in 1949).

I don't know if you meant Thailand. But if you are it was known as Siam before they changed the name.
