The current name of the country in [[Wikipedia:English language|Staynish]] is Ethalria, whilst the name in [[Ethalrian language|Ethalrian]] is Krösenland. The Staynish version, used primarily across the world, derives from Aethalhafen, an [[Wikipedia:Axial Age|axial era]] city-state which came to dominate the Mondsteinstraße (Staynish: ''Moonstone Road''). Ethalrian speakers refer to their nation instead as "Krösenland", which means the people of Krösnau (the native name of the Ider River). |
||
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. |
