Name
editIn the late 19th century, the scholar Ioannis Lambridis described Ravenia as meaning a 'flat place'.[3] The linguist Max Vasmer derived the toponym from the Old Slavic ravьnъ, meaning a 'flat, level place'.[3] The linguist Kostas Oikonomou derived the placename from the adjectival-possessive ravьnja, a form which stemmed from the Slavic noun ravьnъ, with the possessive suffix -ja, masculine -jъ.[3] The Slavic stressed ь sound was rendered in Greek as e, while the grammatical gender changed from feminine to neuter.[3]
