The word "Croat" derives from the Medieval Latin Croata, itself from the native Slavic Xъrvatъ (likely of Iranian origin, possibly meaning "mountain dweller" or "warrior"). The term evolved through Byzantine Greek (Khrōbátos) and Old Church Slavonic before entering Western European languages. Its spelling stabilized in English by the 16th century, reflecting the ethnic and linguistic identity of the Croatian people.
