Etymology of SCLAVS

The word "Sclavs" or "Slavs" originates from the medieval Slavic people who lived in Eastern Europe. The etymology of the word can be traced back to the Proto-Slavic language, where the root "slava" means "glory" or "fame". The Slavic people were referred to as "Sclavi", "Sclavini", or "Slovene" by different medieval writers and neighboring cultures.

The ancient Greeks, during the Byzantine Empire, used the term "Sklebēnoi" to denote the Slavic people. It is believed that the word "Sclavs" derived from the Byzantine Greek term. Over time, the term was adapted into various languages, such as Old High German "Slaufen", Old English "Sleafe", and Middle Dutch "Slavene", before becoming "Slavs" in English.
