Later, in the 19th century, Cavunia became a tributary state of some empire and was under foreign governance up until the Great War, though, due to low population density and harsh climate, maintained a fair level of autonomy.

Etymology
The modern term Cavunia was first used by Dezevauani traders, referring loosely to people inhabiting the area. It originally meant "wanderers" (Kunak: kabunyý) and was most probably used to distinguish the nomadic tribes that lived south of the Lake Bakhtegan from settled traders. Later, under the conquest of Gölay Gölay, the name gained a broader use, as the chief called the newly founded confederation "Cavunian Republic", meaning literally republic of the wanderers. The choice was dictated by the unstable loyalty of non-Kunak tribes that supported Gölay Gölay as long as they were granted pirivilages. It also was meant to attract other still independent nomadic tribes to join the confederation.
During the 18th and 19th century the name Cavunia became a conventional name for the region itself, however, internally, a simple term "confederation" (Kunak: iteqşem, literally together) was used more commonly. Following a foreign rule and the rise of nationalism within the country, several clans created the Great Circle and promoted the creation of independent nation known as Cavunia.
After the Great War rivalries between ethnic groups and the overtaking of power by Kunak people the term Cavunia became a call for equality and a symbol of unity. In 1960, when the Unity Law was signed, it was stated in the Constitution of the Republic of Cavunia that the republic of Cavunia has only one name and that name is to be used be very citizen, in every place and on every day in Cavunia. Internationally, the authorities have asked to alter any exisiting names of the country to Cavunia and to be it the only official name of the republic.
