Etymology
Orlavmaa means Land of Orlav, and comes from the historic conquerer of Hadrar Bolafia and the Dominion of Ostro Bolafia. The kingdoms under the House of Bolafia took on the name of Bolafmaa, which eventually evolved into Orlavmaa. The current Republic uses the name Arlaŭmaa internally. Coming from the Arlaŭ people, which make up the plurality of the ethnic demographics of Orlav and has been used as an interchangeable term for the region since the 18th century.
Another less commonly used name for Orlavmaa is Minstia, coming from the Kingdom(s) of Minst in the early periods of Orlav history in the 6th and more dominantly in the 12th century. The name is primarily used in poetry, or to distinguish Orlav under the House of Minst.
