The term ''Derian'' likely originates from an ancient [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] term, ''thoir'', meaning "east" or "eastern". The term is first attested to in the 8th century as an {{wp|exonym}} used by proto-[[Urcean people]], but it gradually entered common use with the establishment of the [[Holy Levantine Empire|Levantine Empire]] referring to people living in the [[Eastern Kingdom of the Levantines]]. The name Derian, and its derivation "Deric", entered increasingly official use in the medieval period, with the Kingdom having been called the "Kingdom of Dericania" by the late 11th century. "''Derian''" as a term referring to a distinct ethnic group, rather than a general term referring to residents of the Kingdom of Dericania, began to be used some time in the 1760s, which is when the modern Derian vs. Deric convention entered common and official use. | |||
