From earlier *kreiv-, from a Slavic stem *kriv-, which has the same source as Latvian kreiss (“left”) (q.v.). At first this was the name of a Baltic tribe that lived in the area near Pskov, an area also inhabited by many Slavs (ancestors of today's Russians), who were likewise called “kriviči” (Old East Slavic кривичи (kriviči)). Old Latvians (initially Latgalians) therefore used the name *kreivi > krievi to refer not only to the neighboring Baltic tribe, but also to their Slavic neighbors, and later on generalized it to all Russians. More at Krivichs.

Borrowed from Middle High German stork, or from Middle Dutch stork, both from Proto-West Germanic *stork (compare German Storch, English stork).
The long vowel comes from the long level-tone syllable in the original forms (star̃ks > stārks). This word is first mentioned in 18th-century dictionaries.
