Etymology
nb, based on Medieval Latin la-med Croātia Croatia. The Medieval Latin name is conventionally traced to Ancient Greek grc Χρωβατία Croatia, formed from grc Χρωβάτος Croat and the place-name suffix grc -ία, literally “land of the Croats”. The ethnonym ultimately reflects Proto-Slavic sla-pro *xъrvatъ Croat, of uncertain deeper origin.
One modern proposal derives the ethnonym from an Iranian form meaning “guardian, protector”, but this remains disputed.
Compare nn Kroatia, fo Kroatia, is Króatía, fi Kroatia, lt Kroatija and da Kroatien Croatia.
