Hrvatska. Also the -ska suffix is the feminine form of the adjectiv suffix -ski, for examble when I say the French President in Croatian it is "Francuski Predsjednik", or Brittish Prime Minister is "Britanski premjer" etc. Just a minor correction in your lingual hypothesis, no ofence intened. Why feminine, the croatian word for land is "zemlja" which is feminine thus Hrvatska zemlja. And it stuck.

The tie that men wear around their necks is in many languages called a cravate or similar. France had a cavalry regiment called the Royal-Cravate Cavalerie, The word Cravate was derived from the word Croate, and members of the regiment had ties of cloth bound around their neck.

One clue: "Hrvatska" is an adjective! It actually just means "Croatian". It's a short version of the term "Hrvatska država/zemlja" which means "Croatian land", in which the "ska" is suffix for adjectives. That's also the case with Polska. It's like when you want the Cesar Salad, but you just say "Cesar". It's implied that it's a salad, so you don't say the word salad. That's why you can say just Hrvatska instead of Hrvatska država. That stuck for the last 1400 years!

There is a legend in Croatia about the name Hrvati and Hrvatska. In the 7th century when Croats migrated to land of Croatia (Dalmatia) there were 7 tribes of Croats with 5 brothers and 2 sisters as chieftains, and the oldest of the chieftens names was Hrvat. Because of that the people choose the name Hrvatska for the land.

Before that curse, we defeated Hungarians, Bulgarians, Turks, etc.. But we still did have a lot of victories after the curse, because we held out against the Ottomans during the 15th century. @@not-much-but-enough
Croatians existed before the country itself . Hence the term the "Arrival of the Croats" in approximately 790 AD. The ancient Greeks referred to Croats as Horovathos or something similar. Some say Croatians migrated from ancient Persia. Their was a state that was called Greater Khorasan. It's in the phonics. Their are derivatives of peoples surnames Horvat, Hrvat, Horvath, Chorvat, throughout Slavic countries. I think the name changed according to where these people migrated to and from over 2000 years ago. Much like today when people change their name when they migrate to another country.

4:54 Wrong. In fact, 'ska' is actually just an add-on required to form an adjective Hrvatska which then means: "Croatian (adjective) Republic (noun) - Hrvatska Republika or in history Croatian Kingdom - Hrvatska Kraljevina" and that adjective is used for the name of the country. Polska also means "Polish republic" again without the word 'republic'. Česká is the same thing. But yes, in free translation it can be "Land of Croats", that's also pretty close.

Also, in Latin, the "v" character was pronounced "oo" as in Unum(Latin for 1) or Ave(a-oo-eh/aweh), so it might be possible that for a while they called it Krooatia, then just Kroatia. I realize in English, very few/no words have subsequent vowel sounds, meaning Mendele'ev is pronounced as Mendel-eev often, but in Latin and most Slavic languages, multiple subsequent vowel sounds could be in the same word without being squished together.

The original consonant KH turned into K or H, depending on the vocal preferences of different locations, and the rest is just a matter of slipping the vowel O (KHRoVAT) or replacing the consonant V with a vowel U (KHROUAT). The exact root meaning of the name is sometimes linked to the Harauati tribe in Iran, in which case we may not understand what it means in their language, but it is also often subscribed to the fact that it was a personal name of one of the seven brothers and sisters that came to that land around 14 centuries ago. And his name - Hrvat (or Khrvat) could be linked to a few words. "Krv" is blood (he might have had a reddish face), "krov" is a roof (he might have been as tall as a roof) and "griva" is a mane (he might have had a very voluminous and long hair).

The name comes from the River Saraswati. Saraswati -> Harahwati -> Haravati. Look into Grimm's law, I think that's the name, for the S/H mutation. Also, we are recorded present in Eastern Persia at the time of Darius the Great. That's where we come from, and started migrating out when the river started drying out.

I get the logic, but I don't actually think that people that live today there are of that origin or should be looked at as such. Because let's say that it's 100% true, they must have gone to Hungary and Romania then waited couple of hundred years, become slavs, took the language and customs, then kicked out of those countries because they were slavs (as those countries fought against slavs to keep their nationality, around 5/6/7 century). And basically from the begging croats use old Slavic emblem of a red/silver chess board. I'm not sure why they would adopt that.

@@TooGumbica You seem to be confused about certain things here, and I don't think you get it yet. There is no other tribe or nation on this Earth alive that carries the name Harahvaiti from the old days, appart from modern day Croatians. There were more of us that stayed behind during the migrations. White Croatia was a thing, several times in several different places, and now, these people are called Ukranians, Polish etc. They do have Croatian DNA but far less, as they mixed with a lot of proto-slavic tribes. Croats that came to the Adriatic were the dominant military force everywhere they went. They did not get assimilated into anything. They assimilated others into themselves, some Illyrian, some Slavic, some Avar etc. Yes. However, all nations have admixtures, and if we follow your logic, we could never have a connection between Jews from 2000 years ago and those alive today, could we? And for the Italians/Romans? Even less so. However, the Croatian language is a thing of beauty, as it alone can prove everything I'm saying, if you know what to look for. We still speak Sanskrit! That was not a Slavic influence upon Croatians, because Sanskrit was spoken in our homeland, by Us. So, to conclude Slavic tribes, and Scithyan or Gothic tribes did speak a variant of Indo Arian language close to the one the Croatian tribes spoke, since they all stem from the same tree, only in different periods. And to add to all that, we still have our folk memory preserved and alive, stories about the travel, about the old homeland and events there that lead us on this path. There is no other nation that can claim their history more than we can. But we have been in different "unions" for 900 years, where our culture and heritage was considered a threat (for good reason) and was swept under the rug. Not anymore, time for truth and reckoning is coming. :)

Grims law is not the shift of S to H. It is the shift of P to F like in the word *ped > foot.
"Ska" is not a suffix denoting a land, but a suffix used in the formation of possessive adjectives. Thus, if you want to say Croatian land, you will say hrvat-ska zemlja. The literal translation of the word Hrvatska would be Croatian, and the "land" or "republic" was lost from the country full name. It is interesting that in the example of Dalmacija - Dalmatia, the original suffix remains, but the suffix ska is also used when you want to say that something is from Dalmatia, for example, Dalmatian food - dalmatin-ska hrana. Another example is divine providence - božan-ska providnost. And yes, we use a lowercase letter when writing possessive adjectives that end with the suffix ska 😂

The word "Horvatska" instead of "Hrvatska" was sometimes used by Croats in the past. It's similar to the modern Hungarian word for Croatia and resembles West Slavic and English variants more.
The Dalmatian language is extremely interesting though. It's like the missing link between Latin and Romanian. The words "our father" for example, in Latin it's "Pater nostrum", while in Romanian it's "Tata nostru". In Dalmatian, it's "Tuota neuster". It's very interesting with Romance languages, like eastern Romance languages, the further East the more influenced by Slavic languages. To the northwest they're influenced by Gaulish, making the Gallo-Romance languages. It'd be really interesting to know how vulgar Latin had evolved in Britannia, and how the Umbrian and Brittonic languages would've influenced them. In Proto-celtic, one word for father is "Attyo", in Vulgar Latin, I'm sure people were already saying "Patre", "Padre", and "Pader" depending on where they were. Spain and Italy use "Padre", which comes from "Patre". If we combine the words, we'd get something similar to "Patryo" or "Patreyo". As languages progress, P's often soften to F, and T's often soften into D's. Perhaps if the Anglo Saxons never invaded England, and they spoke a base Latin, Celtic influenced Romance language... The word we'd be using for father, right now, would be something like "Fadrio" or "Fadreo", or perhaps that I or E at the end would've dropped off entirely and been "Fadro". It'd still be somewhat similar to what we have now.

I didn't know "father" was "otac" in Croatian, but I do know that "father" is "otets" in Proto-Balto-Slavic, and you can definitely see the resemblance and evolution of "otets" in "otac". In Proto-Indo-European the word for father is "P'ter", and in early Proto-celtic it would've probably been "Ater" before "Attiyo". So yeah, the Proto Celtic "Attiyo" and the Proto-Balto-Slavic "otets" both come from the Proto-Indo-European "P'ter", so that actually makes good sense seeing as Croatian looks like it may have changed the least since Proto-Balto-Slavic compared to other Slavic languages.

As a Hrvat, I have been asking this myself my whole life. Now I know.
The letter o in the Latin word "Croatia" is not a replacement for the v, but a "filler vowel" that makes the syllable "hr" pronounceable for non-croats. So the intermediate step was something like "crovatia", and later the v became silent and was dropped. Other languages like Czech, Polish, Hungarian, Bulgarian or Turkish inserted a vowel before the r and kept the v sound. Fun fact: One of the most common surnames in Hungary is "Horváth", which translates to "Croat".

Horvat as surname is not in Hungary, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria because of croatian origin before 7th century but because of the Ottoman conquest when many of croatian origin fled Bosnia and Croatia to northern countries which until today or very recent had some croatian population. Thats the reason why Horvat is the most common surname even in Croatia but it is spread almost entirly in northern Croatia as in medieval time center of Croatia was in Dalmatia and what is now Bosnia and Herzegovina (counties Pset, Pliva, Livno, Imota) and todays north Croatia was called Slavonia (which is now only east of Croatia) and was literallly croatized by croatian nobles who moved from south to the north (such as Zrinski, earlier known as Šubić, one of the original 12 noble croatian tribes).
