Etymology

The term Walakia is derived from an ancient deity in the region in the traditional regional animist religions. Wułaskun the protector was widely considered the most important of the spirits in the ancient faiths, and the followers of that tradition gradually adopted the deity's name as a demonym, and when unified under a single kingdom, the people of the region called the new state Walakia. The demonym for denizens of Walakia is Walakian; the plural is Walakians.
