Etymology[edit]
From Russian райо́н (rajón), archaic раіо́нъ (raión), from French rayon (“honeycomb, department”). More recently influenced by the same name used in other post-Soviet states. Compare Ukrainian райо́н (rajón).
Noun[edit]
raion (plural raions)
- An administrative unit of some Eastern European and Asian states.
- 2000, Roman Szporluk, Russia, Ukraine, and the Breakup of the Soviet Union, Stanford: Hoover Institution Press, page 119:
- Suffice it to mention that several thousand raion papers were replaced by “territorial administrations” organs, and that all transport papers were closed.
Usage notes[edit]
The term describes both a type of a subnational entity and a division of a city, and is almost always translated as "district". A raion is usually an entity two steps below the national level.
