@liliaviktorov4657 Why? Because the Russians for the last 250 -350 years have insisted on that? LOL.
You know, before spending years perusing through a multitude of maps and Byzantine, Latin, Turkish, Armenian and slavonic manuscripts, I used to believe as you do. I was actually convinced (oh boy!) that the name "Ukraine" meant just that - "окраина руси".
A predecessor of Kievan Rus' is the 9th-century was - Rus' Khaganate, whose name and existence are inferred from a handful of early medieval Byzantine and Persian and Arabic sources.
The Proto-Finnic name for Sweden was "Ruotsi", and in one of the earliest written sources where the Swedish were called "Rhos" dates to 839 in the Annales Bertiniani. According to the Kievan Rus' Primary Chronicle, compiled in about 1113, "Роуси" were a group of Varangians, Norsemen who had relocated from the Baltic region (literally "from beyond the sea"), first to Northeastern Europe, then to the south where they created the medieval Kievan state.
Originally, the name Rus' (Cyrillic: Русь) referred to the people, regions, and medieval states (9th to 12th centuries) of only the Kievan Rus'.
In Western culture, it was better known as Ruthenia from the 11th century onwards - with territories today among Belarus, Northern Ukraine, Eastern Poland, and the European section of Russia. The term Россия (Rossija), comes from the Byzantine Greek designation of the Rus', Ρωσσία Rossía—related to both Modern Greek: Ρως, romanized: Ros, lit. 'Rus'', and Ρωσία (Rosía)... hmmm
now, back to Okra-ina;
Settlement by modern humans in Ukraine and its vicinity dates back to 32,000 BCE. The "Gravettian" culture in the Crimean Mountains gives us numerous "mother Goddess" figures/figurines. It was the Center of "Old Europe's" worship of Isis, Gemeter, or the Mother goddess...hmmm
.In addition, "Ocra" was a town of Venetia, which had already disappeared at the time of Pliny... hmmm
By 4,500 BC, the Neolithic Cucuteni–Trypillia culture was flourishing in wide areas of modern Ukraine, including Trypillia and the entire Dnieper-Dniester region.
Between 700 B.C. and 200 A.D., the territory of Ukraine was part of the Scythian Kingdom. From the sixth century B.C., colonies of Ancient Greece, Rome and the Byzantine Empire were founded, such as Tiras, Olbia and Germonasa, which lasted until the sixth century A.D..... Fyi, words as "ochra and "ina" are part of these languages....hmmm
According to the Athenian orator Demosthenes, the Ukraine was the breadbasket of Greece.
This claim is confirmed by the many wheat silos that have been found in the region and which testify to the importance of the grain trade since the 6th century BC.
From 370 AD., the Goths remained in the area, but ended up under the rule of the Huns. In the seventh century AD., the eastern territory of Ukraine was part of the Old Great Bulgaria but, at the end of the century, most of the Bulgarian tribes migrated South and the land fell into the hands of the Khazars.
FYI, also greatly worshiped the Earth Mother Goddess - "Ochra" (pale yellow ...earth?) "Ina" (mother)...
Khazar, also known as Khazaric, was a Turkic dialect group spoken by the Khazars, a group of semi-nomadic Turkic peoples originating from Central Asia. There are few written records of the language and its features and characteristics are unknown. It is believed to have gradually become extinct by the 13th century AD as its speakers assimilated into neighboring Turkic-speaking populations.
There is a dispute among Turkic linguists and historians as to which branch of the Turkic language family it belongs to. One consideration believes it belongs to the Oghur ("lir") branch of the Turkic language family, while another consideration is that it belongs to the Common Turkic branch... hmmm
So, the name "Ukraine" does not seem to be slavic, or Slavonic ... LOL.
