"Latvija" meaning in Latvian

See Latvija in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: [latvija] Audio: Lv-Latvija.ogg
Etymology: From latvis (“Latvian, Lett”) + -ija. The word is relatively recent: in older (13th-century) texts, this region is called Lettia, Letthigalia, later on (17th century) Latvisku zeme and (18th century) Latvju zeme, Latviešu zeme. J. Alunāns suggested in the 1850s the word Latva, which was not adopted; but, under his influence, many country names in Latvian were derived with a suffix -ija, which made several authors spontaneously create and use the word Latvija. It was accepted into the standard language in the following decades.
