Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Middle Ukrainian Кї́ѣвъ (Kýjiv), Кї́євъ (Kýjev), from Old East Slavic Кꙑѥвъ (Kyjevŭ), of uncertain origin.
The origin of the name of the city is unclear. Traditionally the etymology has been derived from the name of a legendary founder, Kyi. However, historian Mykhailo Hrushevsky warned that this was an “etymological myth”. This means that this is not actually the probable origin of the name, but just a mythologically favoured one.
A proposal by linguist Jaroslav Rudnyckyj, accepted by several linguists and supported by multiple lines of evidence, holds that Київ (Kyjiv) comes rather from Proto-Slavic *kyjь (“stick, club, hammer”) (compare to Ukrainian кий (kyj)), in that case meaning a settlement palisaded by poles. See also Кꙑевъ (Kyjevŭ).
