Etymology

The foreign name Alanahr is a cognate exonym as it, or foreign names similar to 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.

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.

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.
