In early sketches of Azeroth, Northeron appeared to be within Quel'Thalas, north of eastern Lordaeron (Eastern Plaguelands), and north of where the Hinterlands are located. Its still possible that Northeron may be a subzone within the Aerie Peaks or The Hinterlands, but it may be the unfinished zone speculated to be called northern Lordaeron. Northeron may be short for northern Lordaeron, but the term Northeron predates World of Warcraft and northern Lordaeron being this zone (or even existing) is speculatory.
