 ==Etymology==
-The name ''Sydona'' is a contraction of a twenty-two syllable [[High Coscivian]] compound word meaning "the land where beer does flow and men chunder". This is understood to refer to the wild drinking parties among celebrating Coscivian sailors after completing the long and arduous sea voyage to Sydona.
+The name ''Sydona'' is first attested in Istroyan-language sources from the 600s AD as ''Ζιδονα'', in reference to {{wp|Zidona|a species of sea snail}} once abundant in the waters surrounding the islands and harvested for food.
+Thrakoslavonic textbooks in Sydona teach that the name of the archipelago ultimately derives from the proto-Slavonic ''{{wt|Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/zidъ|zid'}}''.
