==Etymology==
The origin of the name "Tivot" is not entirely known. However, it along with "Tarov" are believed to share the same etymology, as evidenced by ancient manuscripts (namely shipping records and the Emarl Manuscript) in which the words "Tavorit" and "Tireva" were used to describe the peninsula. The exact meanings of these words has since been lost, but
The name "Per" stems from its native inhabitants, who are ethnically related to the elves of [[Peregrinia]], who in their native language Kilumi are called Pereh. Salovians first heard Pereh and mistakenly believed it to be the name of their settlement, rather than the name of their people.
