The name ''Riovenia'' etymologically means either 'land of the river people ' or 'riverland', and is a modern form of the term "''Rivusvĕnŭ''", being the combination of both the words ''Rivus'', which means river in latin, and the word ''vĕnŭ'', which means people in former local slav languages. The term "''Rivusvĕnŭ''" was commonly attributed to the area east of the [[Quebrazuby Highlands]] in a unofficial yet popular manner. The use of the term decayed in use after the regionalization of the Zoygarian territory in 1876, by which the modern name of "''Riovenia''" was officially set to the new region. | |||
The term was retained post-independence not only because of the significant rivers within the country but also owing to its widespread familiarity and its origin from the local population. | |||
