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.
