Lithuania

From Medieval Latin Līthuānia f, from Proto-Slavic *Litъva f, from Old Lithuanian Lietuva f; compare the Early Modern synonym Lettow (from Middle English Lettowe).

It has been speculated that the name comes from the rivulet Lietauka,^[1] although archeological evidence does not corroborate this hypothesis.
