Carpathians

Etymology
Borrowed from ; compare the Germanic form attested in 🇨🇬, of which no past or present English counterpart is known (but which may have existed at some stage).

Possibly from the name of the Carpi, an ancient, probably Dacian, tribe living in the eastern Carpathian region of what is now Romania and the Moldova region. The name Carpates may ultimately be from the root  (compare 🇨🇬, Aromanian shcarpã, also 🇨🇬), perhaps via a  cognate which meant “mountain”, “rock”, or “rugged” (compare 🇨🇬 (whence ), 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬). Compare also archaic 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. Alternatively, the name may come from (whence  and 🇨🇬), perhaps referring to the way the mountain range bends or veers in an L-shape.

According to Eichner and Çabej, it derives from

Proper noun

 * 1) A large mountainous system in Central Europe, mainly in Transylvania (Romania) and the Polish (Silesian)-Slovak border region.
