The name "Tretrid" was largely coined by Staynish explorers, deriving from the Impelanzan ''Trétid''.
The peninsula that Tretrid lies on can either be referred to as the Tretridian peninsula or the Threnian peninsula (where "th" is substituted for [[w:Thorn (letter)|thorn]]). Tretrid was named after the peninsula it resided on, but the origins of the name of the peninsula is currently unknown.
The official translation of Tretrid's name into Staynish is "Kingdom of Tretrid". However, the word for kingdom, ''ᚱᛁᚳᛖ'' (transliterated as ''Rīce'') can also translate to "Empire", so calling Tretrid the Empire of Tretrid or the Tretridian Empire is technically still a valid translation.
