The native name ''al-Anahr'' is the Anahri for "the rivers" referring to the three major rivers of the nation. The name comes from the Gharbaic for "river" which retained the meaning of the historical name for the Anahri homeland. The historical Anahri homeland was based around the Pahkah river in the north and during the pre-Latin Conquest era was referred to roughly as ''D'akahga'' which meant "the river" and later "the rivers" when the Anahri homeland expanded beyond the Pahkah.
Prior to the Latin conquest of the region there existed a major kingdom that ruled lands roughly correlating to the modern territories of Alanahr. The name of this kingdom was ''Kahsahr D'akahga'' which would have meant to the locals "the land of the rivers".

The use of the simple name despite the knowledge of other river cultures in pre-Latin Alanahr came from a strong local superiority mindset that eventually resulted in expansion and conquest of other local river cultures. The name retains an element of its political meaning as it reinforces traditional views on the Anahri homeland.
In the modern day the exact meaning of the native name continues to be "the Kingdom of the Rivers" with no native proper noun for the nation although the word for river is used effectively as a proper noun for the nation and its people. So much so that ''anahr'' is no longer used as a term to refer to any rivers barring those that make up the three key rivers of the nation: the Pahkah, the al-Kija or the Amihr. Instead the term for a stream, ''amahj'', has been elevated to mean streams and rivers other than the three.

Alanahr (Anahri: al-Anahr), formally the Kingdom of the Rivers (Anahri: al-Mamlak al-Anahr), is a constitutional monarchy located in northeast Scipia bordered by Vardana to the east, and Fahran and Charnea to the south.

Etymology

The name Alanahr is a cognate exonym as it, or foreign names like it, is similar to the native name of al-Anahr but is treated as a proper noun rather than translated based on the meaning of the words in Anahri. A more direct translation of the native name al-Anahr is "the rivers" referring to the three major rivers of the nation in Anahri. The name comes from the Gharbaic word for "river" which replaced the various pre-Anahri names including D'akahga or Phlaminiphas, also meaning "the river/rivers".

Prior to the Latin conquest of the region there existed a major kingdom that ruled lands roughly correlating to the modern territories of Alanahr. The name of this kingdom was Kahsahr D'akahga which would have meant to the locals "the land of the rivers". While this name was briefly lost when the region was conquered by the Latins both parts remained in some form. The historic homeland of the ancestors of the Anahri, the territories around the Pahkah river, was still referred to as the Kahsahr until today. The term Phlaminiphas meaning of "the rivers" was used by the Alatahn to refer to the lands once held by the historical kingdom and its meaning influenced later Gharbaic references to use words meaning "the river/rivers".

In the modern day the exact meaning of the native name continues to be "the Kingdom of the Rivers" with no native proper noun for the nation although the word for river is used effectively as a proper noun for the nation and its people. So much so that anahr is no longer used as a term to refer to any rivers barring those that make up the three key rivers of the nation: the Pahkah, the al-Kija or the Amihr. Instead the term for a stream, amahj, has been elevated to mean streams and rivers other than the three.
