Krieva

KRIEVIS

Krieva.

krievs
From earlier *kreiv-, from a Slavic stem *kriv-, which has the same source as Latvian kreiss ‎(“left”) (q.v.). At first this was the name of a Baltic tribe that lived in the area near Pskov, an area also inhabited by many Slavs (ancestors of today's Russians), who were likewise called “kriviči” (Old East Slavic кривичи ‎(kriviči)). Old Latvians (initially Latgalians) therefore used the name *kreivi > krievi to refer not only to the neighboring Baltic tribe, but also to their Slavic neighbors, and later on generalized it to all Russians.[1]
