==Etymology==
The current name of the country in [[Wikipedia:English language|Staynish]] is Ethalria, whilst the name in [[Ethalrian language|Ethalrian]] is EthalrienKrösenland. The Staynish version, used primarily across the world, derives from AethalriaAethalhafen, an [[Wikipedia:Axial Age|axial era]] city-state which came to dominate the Mondsteinstraße (Staynish: ''Moonstone Road''). InEthalrian medievalspeakers Aurora, its people began referringrefer to their countrynation instead as "Ethal landKrösenland"., Thewhich name Ethal itself comes frommeans the early medieval Ethal people which developed from an amalgamation of various migrating [[Cava]] and [http://nswiki.org/index.php?title=Uspria#Usprian_Elves Usprian] peoples fromKrösnau (the Valeriannative andname Axdelian region; and westward migrating [[Orc|Orcs]] fromof the [[KhermaliIder River]] and other early [[Great Auroran Desert]] settlements, as well as [[Wikipedia:Humans|Human]] peoples from Cereneria).
 
The name Ethal itself comes from the early medieval Aethal people which developed from an amalgamation of various migrating [[Cava]] and [http://nswiki.org/index.php?title=Uspria#Usprian_Elves Usprian] peoples from the Valerian and Axdelian region; and westward migrating [[Orc|Orcs]] from the [[Khermali River]] and other early [[Great Auroran Desert]] settlements, as well as [[Wikipedia:Humans|Human]] peoples from Cereneria.
 
The Renaissance scholar Imrenzie Anneke proposed that the Old Valerian word ''Aethalria'' evolved from the [[Impelanzan]] word ''Fidesthaeria'', meaning "faith" and "thaer", denoting the growth of the [[Thaerism|Thaerist faith]] in the region. Anneke also discovered literary variation, including Faethalria in the 2nd to 3th centuries.
