Istriaとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From Latin Histria, from Ancient Greek Ἵστρια (Hístria), named after Ἱστρών (Histrṓn) (ἔθνος (éthnos)), the ethnicon of the Illyrian/Venetic tribe of the Histri who inhabited the region.^[1]

The name could itself be related to Hister, a Roman name for the Danube, from Ancient Greek Ἰστρίη (Istríē), the Dacian-Thracian name for the river god Danubius, a name meaning "swift," and ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dʰenh₂- (“to flow”).^[2] Also see Histria.
