Etymology
The etymology of the name Tetinsatia is well attested to be a mercantisation of the indigenous term Tetínsȳþ, first entering the global lexicon in [a date near unification] in documents written by Korovans regarding the expansion of the Ganza in Gothis.
However, the origins of the indigenous term are much more debated. Tetín- is known to originate from the Tetínsbryg tribes which came to dominate the country politically and culturally around [some date after unification]. The suffix -sȳþ has almost no information known about it. The most common, but also far from widely accepted, theory is that the suffix derives from swýþ which is an archaic form of the adjective swíþ. In effect, the term means strong but also immaterial in certain older circumstances and thus, it is suggested that Tetínsȳþ means strong Tetins.
Other scholars believe the suffix derives from the adjective sýþ meaning in a southerly direction and argue this to make more sense in terms of language development and relevance to being the name of a geographic area. However, Tetinsatia is one of the most northerly countries in Gothis and sceptics of this theory are unsure why Tetinsatia would be described as southerly.
