The name of the Urlazian Kingdom developed over time, and from the reign of the Goths the term "Urlazio" finds its origin. To the earliest contemporaries, the term "Gothic Kingdom of the Latins" was sometimes used, although by the late 4th century this fell into disuse due to other Gothic kingdoms which ruled over Latins in [[Levantia]]. The Goths used the term "Ur Latino" and other variations beginning in around 380, with "ur" being the Gothic prefix of "origin" and "Latino" for the self-described name of the Latin peoples. Accordingly, "Urlatino" and eventually "Urlazio" entered common usage, appearing regularly to describe the later Gothic realms by around 500. | The name of the Urlazian Kingdom developed over time, and from the reign of the Goths the term "Urlazio" finds its origin.

The death of King Berengar III greatly altered the political situation on Urlazio. Berengar divided the Kingdom among his three son: Alaric inherited the northwestern tip of the Kingdom; Nethare inherited the central and northern parts of the realm, and; Leofric, who inherited eastern and southeastern Urlazio (modern [[Talionia]]). The names of the first two sons would, in time, become the names by which their Kingdoms were known, and these geographic signifiers survive today as the provinces of [[ | The death of King Berengar III greatly altered the political situation on Urlazio.

By the end of the "period of the Goths", all of the "Gothic" kingdoms on Urlazio were heavily Latinized. While the primary population of the islands had always been Latin, the ruling Gothic families gradually became indistinguishable from those they ruled over by the 900s. Most historians agree this process occurred due to the influence of the [[Caphiria|Caphiric]] court and society on the ruling families. Accordingly, in ca. 953 AD, the [[Urceopolis (Archduchy)|Urceopolitan]] scholar Gaius Braian noted that the Urlazian Goths were "...as Gothic as the men of Venceia." | By the end of the "period of the Goths", all of the "Gothic" kingdoms on Urlazio were heavily Latinized.
