Etymology
From lv latvis ija Latvian, Lett. The word is relatively recent: in older (13th-century) texts, this region is called Lettia, Letthigalia, later on (17th century) lv latvisku Latvisku lv zeme and (18th century) lv latvju Latvju lv zeme, lv latviešu Latviešu lv zeme. J. Alunāns suggested in the 1850s the word Latva, which was not adopted; but, under his influence, many country names in Latvian were derived with a suffix -ija, which made several authors spontaneously create and use the word lv Latvija. It was accepted into the standard language in the following decades.latvietis
